Sleater‐Kinney

In February 1999, Sleater-Kinney delivered a stunning live performance of "Turn It On" at RKCNDY in Seattle, right when they were riding high on the wave of their acclaimed album "Dig Me Out," which had released in 1997. At this point in their career, the band was solidifying their position in the riot grrrl movement, characterized by their potent blend of punk rock and feminist themes. This particular recording showcases their electrifying energy and tight sound, elements that made them a standout live act. The video captures a moment when they were gaining significant traction and popularity, reflecting the band's raw storytelling and musical prowess. A noteworthy aspect of this performance is how the track sometimes felt overshadowed by the album's more iconic songs; however, this live rendition proves just how dynamic and powerful it can be.
