Sleater‐Kinney

On August 11, 2006, Sleater-Kinney delivered a thrilling performance of "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, marking a poignant moment just before their hiatus. This concert took place shortly after the release of their acclaimed album "The Woodlands," which had come out in 2005, showcasing the band’s signature blend of punk rock and layered, emotive lyrics. Interestingly, this performance is part of their penultimate show, capturing the energy and raw emotion of a band at the height of their powers yet on the cusp of stepping away from the spotlight. Fans fondly remember the excitement and bittersweet feelings surrounding this show, as it represented both a celebration of their career and a farewell to a transformative era in the music scene.
