The Violent Femmes, who finished the Friday-night concert, were right when they introduced their lead singer, Gordon Gano, as "the unreliable narrator", his songs adopt a variety of warped perspectives, from stoned -out teenager to someone whose two choices for a weekend project were to take over the world or learn French. The Femmes play quietly--their drummer uses brushes--and they twist old American rock styles lock rockabilly and surf music to their purposes.
