Sleater‐Kinney

On May 25, 2000, Sleater-Kinney rocked the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., delivering a spirited live rendition of 'Fortunate Son,' a Creedence Clearwater Revival classic. At this point in their career, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album 'The Hot Rock' in 1999, which further solidified their position in the punk rock scene and showcased their evolved sound. This live performance is emblematic of their intense energy and emotional depth, qualities that define their music. Sleater-Kinney, known for blending punk rock with political and personal lyrics, was beginning to gain national attention, attracting fans drawn to their unapologetic style and feminist perspectives. Interesting tidbit? This show was a part of a tour that included other influential bands like The Butchies and The Gossip, which added to the electric atmosphere that night.
