Litigious Femmes

Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie is suing vocalist/guitarist Gordon Gano for lack of credit on various band compositions and alleged financial discrepancies in the band’s accounting. The suit also claims the Femmes’ reputation was irrevocably ruined by Gano granting fast food chain Wendy’s use of the band’s signature tune, “Blister In the Sun”, in an ad campaign. Details here.
