Sleater Kinney and Calvin Johnson Perform Rock Lobster Live at Capitol Theater

Venue: Capitol Theater Location: Olympia, Washington, United States Date: December 31, 1997

On December 31, 1997, Sleater-Kinney performed at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA, a vibrant moment captured in their live recording with Calvin Johnson during a New Year's Eve show. By this time, they had just released their acclaimed album "Dig Me Out" earlier that year, which solidified their place in the punk rock scene. This record was particularly notable as it marked a pivotal shift in their sound, gaining them wider recognition. It showcased their raw energy and lyrical depth, setting the stage for their dynamic performances. An interesting tidbit about this show is that it epitomized the spirit of the '90s DIY scene that Sleater-Kinney championed, highlighting their connection to the Olympia music community and the Riot Grrrl movement, which played a crucial role in their identity as artists.
