Sleater-Kinney Live Performance of Entertain from Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel
In the early 2000s, Sleater-Kinney was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album "One Beat," which was released in 2002, just a year before this live performance at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel on February 14, 2003. This album was especially significant as it emerged amidst the backdrop of post-9/11 America, and it tackled themes of politics and personal struggle with a fierce punk edge that fans had come to love. During this period, the band was lauded not just for their music but also for their powerful message, making waves in the Riot Grrrl scene. The live version of "Entertain" showcases their remarkable energy and tight musicianship, a testament to why they're often considered one of the most influential bands of their time. The video captures not just a performance, but a moment in history for an iconic band whose sound resonated with so many.
