Sleater‐Kinney

On July 8, 2003, Sleater-Kinney played a dynamic set at Southpaw in Brooklyn, delivering an exhilarating performance of their song 'Giraffe.' This live recording comes during a pivotal era in their career, just after the release of their acclaimed album, 'One Beat' (2002), which was a response to the political climate post-9/11. Sleater-Kinney, known for their feminist punk rock roots, was gaining significant recognition for their powerful themes and unique sound. It's fascinating to note that during this time, the band was not just creating music; they were also becoming symbols of resistance and empowerment through their lyrics and presence. The electricity of their live shows, as captured here, reflects their growing influence in the music scene, showcasing their energetic performances and deep connection with fans.
