Sleater‐Kinney

On August 11, 2006, Sleater-Kinney delivered a memorable live performance at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, marking one of the final shows of their career before taking a prolonged hiatus. At this time, the band had just released their critically acclaimed album 'The Woods' in 2005, which showcased a shift towards a more experimental sound and heavy guitar riffs, defining their legacy in the punk and indie rock scene. The live recording captures the raw energy and fierce musicianship that Sleater-Kinney is known for, reflecting their powerful stage presence. Interestingly, this performance emphasized their commitment to feminist themes and social commentary, showcasing the depth of their songwriting. Following the tour, they would go on to pause their activities until their reunion in 2015, making this moment a bittersweet highlight in their storied history.
