Okay, important last questions. First, what advice would you give to a girl who wanted to pick up a guitar? "Practice. Learn and then unlearn — that's the trick in finding your own style of playing. You can't merely emulate, you have to innovate, or at the very least create your own path into the process."

“What I appreciate about Sleater-Kinney is that we did six records and they all felt different,” she says. “It was a band that was able to encapsulate different sensibilities because we were focusing on it as music and art and not as a statement. That was something other people ascribed to it more than we did. So I would be curious [about reforming]. I think we have more to say. I think we ended at a time when it wasn’t tapering off, actually. I would be curious to know what the rest of the story is with that band.”

One More Hour

That song was so socially progressive for 1997.

Anyone else completely given up on SK after Janet left?

The whole thing put a really sour taste in my mouth, and Corin and Carrie can't make music for crap anymore. They're so up their own butts.

Checking to see if anyone has a rip of the RSD This Time / Here Today 7" they can share before I go through the cost and hassle of sending mine off to get it digitized. Thanks!

1998 set list, updated

I saw them for the first time in 1998. I snagged the set list and got Carrie to sign it. A couple weeks ago in KC, I got them both to sign it. Carrie signed over the ‘98 signature that has haunted me ever since because my pen was dying.

Sleater-Kinney made it worth braving the rain in Kansas City

Sleater's last KC show was with Wilco in 2021, a night where rain forced an abrupt end. This time around? Another monsoon. But luckily an indoor venue.

Here's my write-up, along with photos. Still a vast amount of fan support to this day for the longtime indie rockers.

I might be insane, but...Dance Song '97 from Dig Me Out *totally* has bass on it, right??

I know that most Sleater-Kinney songs don't have bass guitar on them at all (that's kind of their thing after all,) but I just listened to Dance Song '97 in some nice headphones, and there has got to be a bassist playing underneath that.

It sounds far too, well..."bass-y" (for lack of a better word) and too deep to just be a down-tuned guitar on that particular song, but the Wikipedia article makes it a specific point to mention that there's no bass on the Dig Me Out album. I don't buy it though, unless Carrie or Corin were playing a guitar through an octave-down Digitech Whammy like Jack White did for Seven Nation Army.

There are quite obviously other instruments like organ on that song, and Wikipedia doesn't mention them in the personnel section (just guitars, vocals, drums, percussion, and a guest saxophone on It's Enough) so it's likely that the bass was also left out of the original credits because they don't have a bass player.

What do y'all think? Listen in some nice headphones or speakers and tell me if you hear an actual bass guitar or not, because it seems pretty clear that there is one in there to my ears at least!

Carrie’s Pedalboard

I usually love to see what my favorite guitarists have on their pedalboards, but with Carrie using the mixer, the pedalboard has been off stage and out of my sight!

Does anyone happen to know anything about what’s on her board this tour? Or happen to have gotten a decent picture somehow? I gotta know how she gets those sick tones

Portland show 4/5

I wanna start by saying the show was A M A Z I N G. I was so surprised by how much I liked their opener Black Belt Eagle Scout and how moving her music was.

S-K exceeded all of my expectations and gave a phenomenal show. I had a blast. but i was really looking forward to trying to meet them after and their buses were gone by the time i got outside after the show :(

I know they live in portland so they probably went straight home but I didn’t see any indication that they were hanging around afterwards.

did anyone that went to this show get to meet them afterwards??

Went to the Vancouver show

Saw them on Thursday in Van. My first solo concert and first concert in a few years. They rocked the place. Carrie’s presence on stage is something else. Amazing show and Black Belt Eagle Scout was equally amazing

Just had to shout it out.

Is that the Vitamin String Quartet on the Frayed Rope Sessions?

It’s giving a distinctly Bridgerton vibe that seems unmistakable. I can’t find credits anywhere for the strings.

Do they only play their newer stuff at concerts? Or older stuff too?

Hi! Sleater Kinney's playing in my city in a few months and they're one of my favourite bands but I'm more into their earlier stuff than their recent stuff. Do they play any old hits or is it generally just their latest album?

any chance of getting a book signed?

I'm seeing them in SF this weekend and would love to get Carrie's book signed and personalized for my son (I'm doing this for every birthday, from artists, musicians, comedians I like. So far, Tobin Sprout, Bill Callahan, Gruff Rhys, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Anika Pyle, Chuck Sperry, Jermaine Rogers). I don't usually look for autographs or anything, so I don't hang out by tour buses. Thoughts?

Entertain lyrics

I was at the Denver show last night and I think I heard Corin change the lyrics from “Johnny get your gun” to “Johnny get your fun.” Kind of makes sense from a political standpoint. Has anybody else noticed this?
