Sleater‐Kinney

On August 11, 2006, Sleater-Kinney performed a memorable live show at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, capturing a pivotal moment just before they entered a hiatus. This performance came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "The Woods," which had hit the shelves in May of that year. The album marked a bold evolution in their sound, showcasing heavier, experimental textures that surprised many of their long-time fans. It's interesting to note that this live recording features their song "Oh!" which perfectly embodies the raw energy and dynamic shifts that characterize their music. At this point in their career, the trio was riding high on their artistic achievements, yet also gearing up for a break that would leave fans wondering about their future. This show, being one of their penultimate performances, carries a bittersweet vibe, capturing both the excitement of their artistry and the nostalgia of an ending chapter.
