The following year, the Violent Femmes released Hallowed Ground, which moved the group to a more country music sound and introduced spiritual themes. Their third album, The Blind Leading the Naked, produced by fellow Milwaukee native Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, was more mainstream and pop-oriented, resulting in a minor hit with "Children of the Revolution" (originally by T. Rex). The group then disbanded, with Gano releasing an album in 1987, the result of a gospel side project Mercy Seat. Ritchie also released several solo LPs. The group came back together in late 1988, releasing 3 and then Why Do Birds Sing? (1991), after signing to Reprise

  • There were 5 humans born that night.

  • @SickShizta I can think of a dozen bands from the 80s that are still relevant, and none of them are Rush.

  • i love that song!!!

  • "8, 8, I forget what 8 was for.... 9, 9, 9 for a lost god... 10, 10, 10, 10, for everything! Everything! Everything! Everything!"

  • oh my love...

  • *Kinda reminds me of the singer who sings the theme to Tai Chi Chasers....just sayin...*

  • Violent Femmes are about the only band from the 80's who just still have that lasting appeal, save maybe Rush...

  • These guys were the 3rd band I ever saw at the ripe old age of 17. Manchester International 2, intimate gig... pretty much as the video depicts them ..only I remember them looking a lot younger..(mind you I'm 43 now , winking smiley face, down with the youth..) Right at the front, mesmerized .. the drummer was 6ft from me, thought they were supposed to be tucked away in the back. Still too this day blown away by the band. On a side note (UK) notice how popular VF are with UK TV producers today ?

  • He Feels the music. You will find this in a few other videos

    It is his song. until you have a song... don't even go there :)
