Sleater‐Kinney

In 2000, Sleater-Kinney was deep into the momentum of their career, having just released 'The Hot Rock' earlier that year. This album showcased their signature sound, blending punk energy with lyrical depth that resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. By May 31, 2000, when this live recording of 'Male Model' took place at The Firehouse in St. Louis, the band was solidifying its reputation as a fierce force in the riot grrrl movement. It's fascinating to note that at this time, Sleater-Kinney was heading into an era of heightened visibility, just before their next album 'All Hands on the Bad One,' which further expanded their influence. This performance encapsulates the raw power and enthusiasm that the band brought to their live shows, undoubtedly forging a strong bond with the audience during what was a thrilling period of creativity.
