Sleater‐Kinney

In June 1999, Sleater-Kinney was riding high on the wave of their influential album "The Hot Rock," released just a year prior. This live recording captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their raw energy and distinct sound that had already started to resonate deeply within the indie rock scene. The performance at Yo-Yo-a-Go-Go, a festival known for celebrating women in music, allowed them to connect powerfully with their audience. It was a time when they were solidifying their reputation as pioneers of the riot grrrl movement, pushing feminist themes through punk rock. Fans often recall this era as instrumental in cementing their legacy, and this live set serves as a perfect illustration of the dynamic synergy between the band members—Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, in particular, exhibiting their electrifying chemistry.
