Sleater‐Kinney

In January 2005, Sleater-Kinney was promoting their critically acclaimed album "The Woods," which had been released in May 2005. This period marked a significant moment in the band's career as "The Woods" showcased a shift towards a more experimental sound, incorporating elements of hard rock and complex song structures. The live performance at the 9:30 Club, captured in the NPR Music Front Row recording, reflects the band's energetic and passionate live shows during this era. Notably, the song "Modern Girl" features a crowd sing-along, highlighting their strong connection with fans. At this point, Sleater-Kinney was at the height of their influence within the indie rock scene, embodying the spirit of the Riot Grrrl movement while also broadening their musical horizons. Their performance not only illustrated their talent but also solidified their status as a crucial band in the genre.
