Sleater‐Kinney

On December 31, 1997, Sleater-Kinney delivered a vibrant live performance at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA. At this point in their career, they had just released their third studio album, 'Dig Me Out,' in 1997, which is widely regarded as a landmark record in the punk rock genre and solidified their status as leading figures in the riot grrrl movement. The album's raw energy and poignant lyrics resonated deeply with fans and newcomers alike. Interestingly, this concert occurred during a transformative time for the band, as they were gaining momentum and attracting a dedicated following. 'Dig Me Out' featured iconic tracks like 'Words and Guitar' and 'You’re No Rock and Roll Fun,' which likely sparked fan fervor at this New Year’s Eve show. Their live gigs became legendary, often blurring the lines between performance and communal experience. Sleater-Kinney's connection with their audience truly shone through in such intimate venues.
