The Violent Femmes were the final band to ever play at Auckland’s His Majestys Theatre before its controversial 1988 demolition.
Gordon Gano played Mr. Zank, the first of many substitute math teachers in an episode of The Adventures of Pete & Pete (“X=Why?“).
The band appeared on the early-1990s sitcom Clarissa Explains It All.
They have also been featured as themselves in one episode of the TV Show Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
