Sleater‐Kinney

On June 19, 1996, Sleater-Kinney delivered a fiery performance at No Life Records in Los Angeles, a pivotal moment coinciding with their groundbreaking album 'Dig Me Out'. Released just two months prior in April, 'Dig Me Out' marked a significant leap in the band's career, solidifying their position in the punk rock scene with its raw energy and poignant lyrics. This live recording captures the essence of their explosive sound, reflecting the band's evolution and their commitment to pushing boundaries. Interestingly, during this period, they were part of the riot grrrl movement, which fused punk ethos with feminist messages, making their live shows not just concerts, but declarations of identity and resistance. It’s a fascinating snapshot that shows how the band's live energy resonated with fans, creating an electric atmosphere that further amplified the album’s themes.
