Sleater-Kinney Live Performance of 'Why Ask Why/Don't Ask Why' in Los Angeles

Date: November 30, 1995

On November 30, 1995, Sleater-Kinney performed 'Why Ask Why/Don’t Ask Why' live at NO Life Records in Los Angeles, just a year after releasing their self-titled debut album in 1995. This intimate setting really captures their raw, punk energy and the spirit of the '90s indie rock scene. Interestingly, this performance predates their breakthrough album 'Call the Doctor,' which would drop in 1996 and propel them further into the spotlight. The band, known for their feminist themes and powerful vocals, was already making waves in the underground music scene, and this live recording showcases the unmistakable synergy between band members Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein. It’s a powerful reminder of their artistry and the fierce connection they built with their audience during those early years.
