Sleater‐Kinney

In this electrifying live recording from May 17, 2002, Sleater-Kinney was riding the wave of their album "One Beat," which had just been released the previous fall. This period marked a pivotal moment for the band, as they were navigating the landscape of post-9/11 America, infusing their music with powerful social commentary and resilience. The live performance of "Funeral Song" showcases the raw energy and intensity that defines their sound, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the time. Interestingly, during this era, Sleater-Kinney was at the forefront of the riot grrrl movement, using their platform to challenge societal norms and inspire younger generations. The venue, Warsaw, adds to the allure—their Brooklyn roots shine through in this intimate setting, drawing fans into their world of punk rock activism.
