On May 30, 1997, during the performance captured in the live recording "Good Things," Sleater-Kinney was nearing the peak of their early career. This recording took place shortly after the release of their third studio album, "Dig Me Out," which debuted in 1997 to critical acclaim and helped solidify their reputation in the punk rock scene. By this time, they had established themselves as key figures in the riot grrrl movement, known for their feminist lyrics and dynamic sound. The venue, 924 Gilman, is notable as a significant spot in punk history, reflecting the grassroots, community-driven ethos that characterized the era. The performance showcases the band's raw energy and the connection they had with their audience, a testament to their growing influence in the alternative music landscape.
