Sleater-Kinney Tour Updates HERE Please

Screaming Skull · 01.30.2015, 03:43 PM

With the 2015 S-K tour set to kick off in about a week, I think we should post show updates here, ok? I'll be seeing them on April 21st in Atlanta and am pretty amped about it!

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 02.03.2015, 08:42 PM

I'm going sometime in April, who the fuck knows when, but I already got a ticket and that's whats important.. and I'm trying my best to not listen to the record until I hear those tracks at the show. Its a hard fight...

S-K's discography is pretty bullet-proof if you ask me. Directionally, I would rank their output as follows:

TOP TIER:
The Woods
Dig Me Out

NEXT TIER:
One Beat
Call The Doctor
No Cities To Love
All Hands On The Bad One

BOTTOM TIER:
The Hot Rock
Sleater-Kinney

ALL of it's worth owning - for sure - and their new album is yet another SOLID contribution!

HOW DA FUGG DO YOU HAVE THE HOT ROCK ON BOTTOM TIER?? NOT ONLY IS IT A SELF REFLECTIVE, COLLEGE ROCK MEETS MATH ROCK MASTERPIECE, ITS ONE OF MY SINGLE FAVORITE RECORDS OF ALL TIME.

my list in order..

The hot rock
Dig me out
All hands on the bad one
One beat
The woods
Self titled
Call the doctor

And i haven't heard the new one but ive gleaned from reviews it belongs somewhere in the middle

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 02.04.2015, 01:11 PM

Also, how is Atlanta? Im seriously considering moving there..

Ok, I'll give The Hot Rock another spin - it has been 10+ years since I've done so. I remember running out to get it while still buzzing from Dig Me Out , listening to it several times, and then declaring it a huge disappointment. I'll try it again.

Atlanta's a cool town...young and progressive. It has a good music scene and lots of good venues. BE PREPARED TO DRIVE. EVERYWHERE. Sprawl. Los Angeles sprawl.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 02.08.2015, 07:55 PM

Well since im born and raised in LA i think sprawl will feel down right cozy

Screaming Skull · 02.10.2015, 12:30 PM

Listening to The Hot Rock right now. Yes, it's very good. Great? We'll see. The nuance around their instrumentation is noticeably more focused, for sure. 'The End of You' is stupid good...like one of the best-ever S-K tracks good. Wow. More later...

They've been replacing Thurston's name with Kim's every time they've
played "Joey Ramone" this tour.

By the by, on their March 29, 1998 show at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA, they sang "I wanna be your Mary Timony" - the gig ended with a Sleater-Kinney + Helium "space jam".

This appeared on their Facebook page a few days ago, but I just saw it. The Hot Rock's cover revisited - PRICELESS:
