Sleater‐Kinney

In December 2005, Sleater‐Kinney was riding high on the creative wave that followed their album, "The Woods," released earlier that year. This album marked a significant evolution for the band, known for their unique blend of punk rock and feminist themes. The live recording of "Steep Air" at the Crystal Ballroom captures a moment when they were fully immersed in their experimental sound, showcasing the bold guitar work and intense energy that defined their live shows. It’s fascinating to think about how this performance occurred just before the band took an indefinite hiatus in 2006, allowing fans to appreciate the raw power and intimacy of their music before they stepped back from the spotlight. Their fearless approach both in the studio and on stage continues to resonate, making this live performance a special snapshot of their dynamic presence.
