In 2003, Sleater-Kinney was riding a wave of critical acclaim, having just released their album "One Beat" a year earlier. This powerful record, released in 2002, tackled themes of feminism and political strife, resonating with a devoted fanbase amid the early 2000s punk revival. The live recording of "Slow Song," filmed during their performance at the Masonic Lodge, signified a special moment as it marked the first time they played the track live since 1995. This return to an earlier song showcased their growth while still honoring their roots. As a band known for their electrifying energy and socially conscious lyrics, capturing this performance added another layer to their legacy, illustrating how they remained relevant and vital amidst a changing music landscape.
