VIOLENT FEMMES Band Info

The Femmes were eating dinner at Doyle’s Seafood in Sydney. Ritchie ate a live lobster served sashimi style. When Gano saw the arms of the lobster waving around while Ritchie munched the raw flesh he called a taxi and went back to the hotel. The next day Gano announced he was becoming a vegetarian and has never eaten meat since then.

VIOLENT FEMMES Band Info is full of tales seemingly too good to be true.

wow, i didn't know eugene chadbourne played with them! too much coolness. seeing them play in a painfully small club in the early 80's was a peak experience. nice to see gordo's still got that f?!?ing smoking jacket. i met him at a canadian border crossing once, both of us getting temporary work visas to play music up north. in stark contrast to his stage persona, he is one of the most crushingly normal people i have ever met in the music business. "nice" doesn't even cover it.
