Just 3 days after seeing Willie Nelson at Toyota Stadium, I was invited by my friend Laura to see the Violent Femmes at the South Side Ballroom. I don't know that you can have two experiences any more different than those. And they were both new. I was a big fan of the Femmes in high school, probably because they were so different than anything I was listening to on the radio. And listening to songs like Add It Up made me feel rebellious. But I never saw them in concert not had I ever been to the South Side Ballroom before. Not only were the Femmes a fantastic show, but there were two opening acts that were also amazing. I don't recall the name of the first act, but the second act was Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, They were amazing! They're a cover band who gives every song they perform a punk sound. So creative and fun! And of course, listening to the Violent Femmes took me back to high school. It was such a fun night! I guess we had so much fun we forgot to take a selfie.
