Sleater-Kinney - Live Performance of Jumpers at Forecastle Festival

Venue: Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center Location: Louisville, Kentucky, United States Date: July 29, 2006

On July 29, 2006, Sleater-Kinney performed "Jumpers" live at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center in Louisville, Kentucky, during a pivotal moment in their career. This performance fell in the midst of their album "The Woods", which had been released just a few months earlier in May 2005. "The Woods" is often considered a landmark album, pushing the boundaries of their sound with its raw energy and experimental edge. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band at a time when they were celebrated for their ferocious, unapologetic performances, embodying the spirit of riot grrrl and indie rock. The intensity of their live shows, like the one at the Forecastle Festival, showcased their evolution from underground icons to mainstream influencers, creating a thrilling experience for fans and solidifying their place in music history.
