Sleater Kinney on Letterman.

[Swede]

This is music. How can anyone listen to Britney et al after watching these chicks.

Edited-sorry never heard of them til now. Wow.

[swag]

1. Sleater Kinney?

[Kathleen04]

2. I think it's Sleeter Kinney.... nt

[Swede]

3. You guys are right.

I'd never heard of them til tonight. Edit time.

[swag]

4. Well, good taste there, Swede.

[democracyindanger]

5. Whaaaaa? It's "Sleater" not "Sleeter"

Side brush-with-greatness note: I worked with Janet Weiss, the drummer, for a bit. Cool chick.

[Swede]

6. Thanks for the correct spelling.

I googled the name and there seems to be a dispute over the spelling,there are actually four different spellings!

8. It's Sleater

Swag posted an album cover in the first reply.

7. Sleater Kinney, the band

is certainly far superior to Sleater Kinney Road. The latter may get you from Lacey to Olympia, but in the immortal words of Iggy Stooge, big fuckin' deal.

The new record sounds great.

[Kathleen04]

13. Ah ok

I was just goin by sound and I'm clueless. :silly:

[Swede]

14. Hey I thought he called them Slayer Kitty.

I'm clueless.:silly:

[swag]

15. Slayer Kitty

is the name of my band, which is so much better than Sleater Kinney, which is still a fucking great band.

[Swede]

18. Hey that does sound like a band.

Heavy metal I bet.

[Lex]

9. I like 'em but The Butchies are my favorites!

[Kipepeo]

23. The Butchies ROCK!

Yay!

[DBoon]

10. Amazing!

One of my favorites!

11. Best live show I ever saw: S-K, in a living room in New Orleans, 1995

I was there, in some skater kid's living room, with maybe thirty other people, tops. Best show I ever saw...they rocked almost too hard.

[Tom Kitten]

12. Cool! I'll stay up, then...

The Woods is phenomenal, even though the first time I put it on I tore off my headphones because I was NOT expecting what I heard!

Saw them a few weeks ago at the Crystal Ballroom...yes they were great!

[swag]

16. Did you see Gang of Four at the Crystal in May?

[Tom Kitten]

19. No, I missed it...

I wanted to go, but circumstances were against it, I'm afraid...It's a long story, I had been looking forward to it for quite awhile...Did you like it?
However, to show my coolness quotient, I did see Wire there in the fall of 2003, and there weren't that many people there! It was a good show, even though I didn't know anything that they played except during the encore when they did "Lowdown" from Pink Flag...

[swag]

20. You indeed have a quotable quotient.

I praise you to the skies.

[swag]

17. The Crystal can be a bit of a pain in the ass,

but it's still my favorite rock venue ever anywhere.

[Tom Kitten]

21. I would agree with you...

I saw Gong there several years back now ( with Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth, Bloom Didier, all except Steve Hillage) (and it really didn't matter, the guitarist had chops) and it was one of the best shows I've been to...The floor really made a difference for that one...

[enigmatic]

22. Great band...

And they freakin' rock...

[giant_robot]

24. I loved them

rockin' babes are so hot! :loveya:

[Kathryn STone]

25. Sleater-Kinney is god

I have All Hands on the Bad One and One Beat
