Sleater‐Kinney

In November 1997, when Sleater-Kinney performed live at La Luna in Portland, they were on the cusp of a significant moment in their career. This performance came shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Dig Me Out," which had premiered earlier that year in April. "Dig Me Out" marked a pivotal point for the band, elevating their profile within the indie rock scene and earning critical acclaim for its raw energy and lyrical depth. The live recording captures Sleater-Kinney at a time when they were solidifying their reputation as a powerful force in alternative music, blending punk sensibilities with feminist themes. This era is particularly notable as it established them as key figures in the riot grrrl movement, and their energetic performances, like the one in Portland, were vital in building a loyal fanbase that admired their fiercely independent spirit and musicianship.
