Sleater‐Kinney

Sleater-Kinney was in a significant phase of their career around the live recording of 'Far Away' on May 24, 2002. This performance marked their third show after a two-year hiatus, during which they regrouped and refocused their sound. Before this, they had released the acclaimed album 'The Hot Rock' in 1999, which showcased their evolving musical identity, incorporating more melodic elements while maintaining their punk roots. The excitement in the crowd that night at the Polish National Home in Brooklyn was palpable, as fans were eager to welcome them back. This show emphasized their powerful stage presence and the deep connection they share with their audience. Not just a reunion, it symbolized a fresh start for the band, paving the way for their later work, including the beloved album 'One Beat,' released just a year later in 2003, with a heightened sense of urgency and social commentary.
