Sleater-Kinney Live Performance of Entertain from Portland Concert
The live recording of Sleater-Kinney from Portland in November 2003 captures the band during a pivotal moment in their career, shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "One Beat." Released in 2002, this album highlighted their defiant punk spirit and resonated with themes of resilience and activism, especially in the post-9/11 context. During this live performance, fans can feel the electric energy as the trio delivers songs like "Entertain" and "The Fox," showcasing their signature blend of raw sound and dynamic lyricism. Interestingly, this was also a time when the band was gaining traction within the indie rock scene and harnessing a loyal following. Their fearless, fierce performances and unabashed political commentary solidified their place not just as musicians, but as influential voices in the feminist punk movement. This recording reflects not only their musical prowess but also the emotional connection they built with audiences during this vibrant period.
