~Sleater-Kinney~

[MeddleDeal]

I know some people on this board don't like Sleater-Kinney as much as I do, but I think they are amazing.

Corin, Carrie, and Janet are by far, great musicians, who can rock it out with the best of them. They proved even more that girls can rock it more than guys, in my opinion.

Seeing these women open up for Pearl Jam in 2003, made me become a HUGE fan of theirs. Their show in San Francisco last year, was one of the best I've been too that year. Corin's voice can be melodic and then she can screech like a little Grace Slick. Carrie is so animated on stage, that she can't be stopped, and Janet, what can I say about Janet, she has given inspiration to pick up my drums again.

Their new album comes out next month, and I can't wait. Check out their video for "entertain' on sleater-kinney.com The song is definitely harder than any sleater-kinney songs i've heard.

[viggs20]

I'm really anticipating 'The Woods'...the new single is awesome and I know some folks who have listened to the leaked version and they have been saying that this album is going to blow everyone away.

[MeddleDeal]

Have you seen the video? I think it is pretty cool and dark. :) I wished I could've seen them during SXSW :(

[Deadman]

Entertain is so awesome. Would love to hear the album now, will be buying later if anyone wants to help out!

[Deadman]

want the leak want the leak (i'm pathetic)

[alobar]

they kicked some major ass when they played in Bellingham recently! They played a few of their new songs and they sounded awesome. I can't wait for the Woods.

[hailhail50]

I'm really looking forawrd to it too. I'll be seeing them on June 24th in Philly which I'm looking forward to even more. I've heard nothing but good about the album.

[MeddleDeal]

want the leak want the leak (i'm pathetic)

:p it is understandable. I mean, it is a HIGHLY anticipated album. I can't wait til May 24th!:D

[VOLITION]

SK are so fuckin awesome. The first time i heard them was on the Monkey Wrench broadcast (98'). When i meet Ed last tour i thanked him for turning me on to them. when I explained to him that my first exposure to them was the MW broadcast he was completely blown away. "WOW we reached some people out there" he said

I am really exited about the Woods album , it's going to rock really hard!

check out some picutes of Ed and MAtt with Corin and Janet

kick ass

[MeddleDeal]

Those are awesome pics. I was looking for the 2003 pics, but thanks to you, i don't have to look no more. :)

Pearl Jam knows how to pick their opening bands, w/o them, I would have not found out about Sleater-Kinney as much. We had a couple of their songs on our station, but I didn't get into them until i saw them. they can fuckin' kick ASS! I remember seeing at the San Antonio, both Matt and Stone were watching from the side of the stage. :D

[Cornflakegrl98]

holy shit is all i can say, "entertain" is awesome...damn what are SK so pissed off about :)

i can't wait for this new album...

i was totally blown away by SK when they opened for PJ at MSG II, janet kicks so much ass, i remember she rocked like a 5 minute solo on words +guitar, amazing

oh that sucks :( SK rocked their little hearts out, but no one cared, my sister and I were the only 2 people standing in our section.

i was a semi SK fan before that show but that performance made me dust off "one beat" and buy all their albums

[mongoloid]

One of the top bands. I haven't heard the new one - but I'll pick it up because I'm seeing them at the Warfield in SF on 6/4. Last tour they played the Fillmore - so there moving into bigger places.

I've seen sooo many great gigs at the Warfield. The Replacements, Soundgarden, Social D, PJ Harvey to name a few. SK will add to the list!

[VictoryGin]

I LOVE S-K. I didn't get to see them on the PJ tour- instead I saw every other opening act multiple times. Anyway, they are one of my most favorite bands other than PJ. Just amazing- the drums, guitar, Corin's voice, the energy, passion, and incredible lyrics, I just love them. I have so many favorite songs- #1 Must Have, One More Hour, Ballad of a Ladyman, Sympathy, Far Away... there are just so many great ones.

I'm so excited because I just got tickets this morning for NYC 6/23!! :D I may try for the DC show too.

[MeddleDeal]

Congrats VictoryGin for getting tixs to the show...I know for sure you will enjoy them. Is this your first time seeing them?
~*~*~
mongoloid-I went to the Filmore show last year, and man, I can't describe how awesome and amazing these girls where. I was at the front of the stage, on Janet's side, shit, that girl is unstoppable. She played drums for the opening band, Quasi, w/her ex-husband, and then several minutes later, she was still drumming for Sleater-Kinney, I don't know how that girl had the energy! She rocks in my book! The Warfield is a nice venue, but the only downfall is that you won't get a poster like at the Fillmore.:) Have fun at the show, shit, times like these, I wished I still live in CA, but i'll be there soon :D

My favorite Sleater-Kinney songs are:

I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone
Male Model
Little Babies
Oxygen
Combat Rock
One Beat
Oh!

[MineAmI]

one of the greatest bands of the last 10 years...and the woods is AMAZING...maybe their best album

can't wait to see them live!!

thank you eddie for introducing me to S-K!

[MeddleDeal]

have you heard of Corin's and Carrie's former bands? Heavens to Betsy and Excuse 17? you should check them out, since these were the bands that helped them evolved into what we all know and love...SLEATER-KINNEY! :D

[colorsblend]

I'm so excited because I just got tickets this morning for NYC 6/23!! :D

I'm going to that show! I love Roseland because the stage is higher than most venues and I'm short. I saw them there in feb 03 and they were fantastic.
Milkshake and Honey is my fave of theirs.

[talitha]

They are damn good. Looking foward to hearing the new album.

[MeddleDeal]

same here. The girls say it is a different approach then they usually do.I love it that they are experimenting.I read on one of the songs, they have a 11 min. jam!! I LOVE jammin'!! :D

[swede]

i love ya meddle... but.. well i havent heard any of their stuff but i know that in my view.. they have ruined every song they sing on when they come on with pj.. well corin does... :( sorry hun! just sayin my thoughts


stoked for ur passion for them though :)

that is okay Swede. Don't apologize, I know everyone isn't a fan of them,so it is understandable. I still love ya buddy! :D

[Cornflakegrl98]

eh i wouldn't judge SK just based on the songs they did with PJ, but I could see how they wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea...

[CrazyMary17]

Anybody going to see them on tour? I'm going to be in Seattle on May 31 when they kick off the tour. I think I'm going to see them. THEY ROCK! I need to get the new album tonight.

[greenmosquito22]

I got into them after seeing them open during the Riot Act tour. Saw them last year at the 9:30 Club and plan on doing so again this summer. Great live band.
I agree with whoever brought up Milkshakes 'N Honey, cool song. My faves are Light Rail Coyote and Good Things.

[shell bell]

Oh!

Quasi rocks hard.I suggest people check them out.

[MeddleDeal]

I agree w/you Michelle. I think it is a great idea just to have 2 players in Quasi, b/c it really showcases their talents.:) I still need to get their albums too. So much stuff to get!!

[Cateeto]

I'm really getting into these chicks and I can't wait to see them on June 16th! My friends say it will be a hell of a show! :D

YEA another converter!!! Oh girl, your friend is RIGHT!!! Tell me how the show goes. These girls are pint size full of energy, one song after the other, and they make you want to dance :D

[MeddleDeal]

Sleater-Kinney has their whole entire album online on their website where you can stream the new album. Check it out! :D I would if I could, but stupid computer at the library won't let me :mad:

www.sleater-kinney.com

[beachdweller]

all I can say is june 4th, SF, Warfield theater, GA tickets, can't wait to see them rock again, especially with the amazing The Woods coming out the week before.

Best female rockers going right now, and one of the best rock groups in all right now.

[Cornflakegrl98]

this album is AWESOME, "the fox" is a killer opener, SK have outdone themselves

[shell bell]

I agree w/you Michelle. I think it is a great idea just to have 2 players in Quasi, b/c it really showcases their talents.:) I still need to get their albums too. So much stuff to get!!
I think I have a copy of one of them(too many cd's).

[Cateeto]

This show is coming up soon! Can't wait for it! I'm sure Sleater Kinney will kick ass! Anyone else going to the June 16th show? :D

oh man, I wished I could go to that show. :( Have fun at the show Scottie. I wonder why they are doing it at the Filmore. I LOVED it when they played at the Filmore last year. I got a free poster :D

[Cornflakegrl98]

meddledeal, did you get a chance to listen to "the woods" yet? what do you think?

dude, after this album, i really don't understand how SK is not more popular.

all we need now is a new rocking breeders album ;)

[Stelly]

I love this band. Got into them around the "All Hands on the Bad One" era. I had heard a few albums, and at first didn't like it. But I found myself wanting to hear more. I bought "All Hands..." and I fell in love. Saw them in concert on that tour, and I was blown away!! Been a die hard ever since. I think they are one of the best bands in the world right now, with PJ, Wilco, and Radiohead.

I missed them on the "One Beat" tour b/c I was on my honeymoon. I will hopefully get to see them on this tour - no Pittsburgh date yet, but I'm considering going to the Cleveland show. We'll see...

No. sadly I can't listen to the new album. :( everytime I go on their website to stream it, the computer here at the library won't let me. I guess I have to wait until the album comes out to hear it all. *sighs*

and girl, your wish is coming true...Breeders are working on a new album, that is why the Pixies are doing a short tour, so Kim can finish the album :D

[jimmyjazz14]

I'm listening to the new one now. My first impression is it is a lot different than anything they've done. I do think it is great though, but I prefer One Beat just slightly at this point.

[Cornflakegrl98]

if you pre-order the woods from amazon (only like $13 with the DVD), you can get a windows media stream, that's the only way i could listen to it because the one from the SK website didn't work on my laptop.

oh sweet about the breeders, I was surfing last night looking for some breeders news and couldn't find any. that is going to be so awesome!

[jigsaw_youth]

I've heard loads about sleater-kinney from being into bikini kill and some other girlbands but I haven't heard alot by them. I guess they're one of those ands I've been meaning to listen to for a really long time. I've had words and guitar on my computer for ages and I really like it and I've heard one of their albums when at a friends house and they did sound good. This thread has reminded me to download some more by them. I also saw my friend's brother wearing a yellow sleater-kinney t-shirt that said "sleater-kinney is for lovers" which I thought was pretty cool in itself.

ask your friend where they got that shirt...i would want to wear that. :D

Corin's former band, heavens to Betsy opened up for Bikini Kill back in the day, which is pretty rad. Then Le Tigre (Hanna's new band) i think in turn, opened up for Sleater-Kinney a few years back.

I love this band!! Too bad I will be missing them in San Francisco in 2 weeks:(

[MeddleDeal]

BUMP for all Sleater-Kinney fans out there...check out their new video for Entertain...awesome video!!

Does anyone know what other videos they have done besides "You're no rock n' roll fun" and "Get Up"?

[MeddleDeal]

~Combat Rock~

They tell us there are only two sides to be on
If you are on our side you're right if not you're wrong
But are we innocent, paragons of good?
Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've endured?
Hey look it's time to pledge allegiance
Oh god I love my dirty Uncle Sam
Our country's marching to the beat now
And we must learn to step in time
Where is the questioning where is the protest song?
Since when is skepticism un-American?
Dissent's not treason but they talk like it's the same
Those who disagree are afraid to show their face
Let's break out our old machines now
It sure is good to see them run again
Oh gentlemen start your engines
And we know where we get the oil from
Are you feeling alright now
Paint myself all red white blue
Are you singing let's fight now
Innocent people die, uh oh
There are reasons to unite
Is this why we unite?
If you hate this time
Remember we are the time!
Show you love your country go out and spend some cash
Red white blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam
Flex our muscles show them we're stronger than the rest
Raise your hands up baby are you sure that we're the best?
We'll come out with our fists raised
The good old boys are back on top again
And if we let them lead us blindly
The past becomes the future once again

[Starzi]

ugh.. i hate that band..sorry, ive been unforgiven ever since that icky version of hungerstrike on l@tg

was fn horrible with that chick

[MeddleDeal]

you should not base that on that one performance, but hey, some people are not into them, and i could understand.

[DigMeOut]

excellent band and combat rock is one of the best protest songs i've ever heard. I hate close minded fools who hate them based on corin singing with pj (which doesnt sound right, its just.....akward). They're missing out, and I'm sure the Woods is going to be on of 2005's best records.

[melkor]

This the only band that ever gave me the same exhilaration as PJ. Just a wonderful band.

[Starzi]

perhaps i should give a lil better listen then ;)

[tremorvoid]

I used to live in Cleveland. The place holds about 500 people. Killer juke box in with the bar - it's free, and loaded with some AWESOME music. Lots of old punk. It's a great place for a show...

[long road walker]

i saw them @ MSG II (& a few other times that tour) they were awesome, i bought all their stuff , They are Playing the Roseland here in NYC next month , i cant wait : )

tomorrow , SK & Slave albums, tomorrow will be a good day : )

I saw them perform Fortunate Son a year before they toured with PJ. It rocked. But you're right - I don't thing Corin sounded all that good singing with Ed. Maybe they do songs in a different key or something -

2 weeks till I'm on the floor at the Warfield digging the new stuff.

wow, sorry- very late response. oddly enough this will be my first show! i missed them on the One Beat tour and saw every other band except s-k open for PJ last tour. I'm so fricken excited! Like someone else said, they make me as excited about music as PJ does. I can't stop listening to them!

I see there are a few going to Roseland :D!

I love The Woods- I've been streaming it. I may have to wait for the cd because I'm not sure when I can hit the store. I think I'll have to order it online. I can't wait to see the packaging.

[MeddleDeal]

the packaging is great!! I was tempted to get it, but I had to remind myself that I am moving to CA, so I can't add more shit to my stuff...but i'll get it soon! i heard it is rockin'!! :D

Someone on the Sleater-Kinney ms board found the setlist to the SA show,when they opened up for PJ, i was SO glad that I got it!! now all I need is the San Francisco set from night 2 last year:)

Oxygen
Far Away
Combat Rock
YNRNRF
Dig Me Out
Step Aside
Combat Rock
I wanna be your Joey Ramone
End of You
Oh!
One Beat

[Stelly]

Just bought my ticket to go see them in Cleveland in two weeks. I'm so fired up...

[MeddleDeal]

SWEET Stelly!! I know you will have an awesome time!!:)

I missed the San Francisco show, but I am thinking about seeing them when they do Austin City Limits in Sept. let's hope they have tixs for whatever day they are playing on.

[MeddleDeal]

for those of you who have the new album, what is on the dvd? I really want to know b/c I went to best buy and it didn't have the dvd.:(

[Cornflakegrl98]

for those of you who have the new album, what is on the dvd? I really want to know b/c I went to best buy and it didn't have the dvd.:(

the DVD has a performance of a couple live songs, "the fox" is one and another 2 that I can't remember right now and I think there is an interview too.

[beachdweller]

THE Women of Rock kicked ass Monday night at the Catalyst. My friend Alissa, who is a diehard S-K fan, wasn't to enthused by the new songs, but as usual, went balistic during the old ones.

Carrie, Corin, and Janet signed all the posters that were for sale, only $10. Janet acually delivered a stack of newly signed posters while I was purchasing mine, and I got the first one of the stack as I told her how much I enjoyed the new album. Corin's voice sounded better than ever live.

Carrie is a FREAK on guitar, I am so impressed. Let's Call It Love/Night Light ended up being about 17 or 18 minutes straight when done, then they went into two other songs without stopping. Oh, and let's not forget Janet on drums, my arms felt like falling off from just watching her pound the sticks by the end of the night.

Had a great time

[MeddleDeal]

That is awesome scott!! Glad you had fun!! :D I so wanted to see them on tour, but unforunately, they hit CA b/f I could head back. Awww I SO want to meet the girls, but totally rad that you saw and met them...and I agree, Janet is one KICK ASS drummer!!! I want to grow up to be like her!! :D

Cornflakegrl98-thanks for the info.:)

[MeddleDeal]

I just bought the Woods w/the DVD and I don't know what else to say, but this album is the SHIT!!! It is the best album I have heard in a while. From beginning to end, this album is a rocker and a total departure for Sleater-Kinney.:)

The girls outdid themselves, by giving us great songs one right after another. I especially like the Jumper and Modern Girl. The girls of Sleater-Kinney know how to rock and KICK ASS at the same time:) I HIGHLY recommend picking this album up, you won't be disappointed. now I know why Eddie blew out his speakers listening to The Woods :D

[PJammin']

I HIGHLY recommend picking this album up, you won't be disappointed.

well, that's not the case for me. i bought it and i don't like it. needless to say i will be getting rid of my copy. glad the rest of U enjoy it.

[MeddleDeal]

well, that's not the case for me. i bought it and i don't like it. needless to say i will be getting rid of my copy. glad the rest of U enjoy it.

let me guess...Corin's voice Chuck?

[PJammin']

let me guess...Corin's voice Chuck?

that's part of it...but i DO love the drummer. ;)

[MeddleDeal]

that's part of it...but i DO love the drummer. ;)

Janet is DA SHIT!! :D That girl can give you a work out just by looking at her. :) She makes me want to pick up my snare again :cool:

[MeddleDeal]

there has to be some Sleater-Kinney love on this board? :D

show your love for this great band:)

<--listening to "Get Up" right now :cool:

[cartoonnightmare]

Corin, Carrie, and Janet are by far, great musicians, who can rock it out with the best of them. ****They proved even more that girls can rock it more than guys, in my opinion.**** .


true

Seeing these women open up for Pearl Jam in 2003, made me become a HUGE fan of theirs. Their show in San Francisco last year, was one of the best I've been too that year. Corin's voice can be melodic and then she can screech like a little Grace Slick. Carrie is so animated on stage, that she can't be stopped, and Janet,**** what can I say about Janet, she has given inspiration to pick up my drums again. ****.

same with me...the only time i have ever really been inspired to play more..just recently..she is awesome..just bought "all hands on the bad one"-- i love it!

[MeddleDeal]

true



same with me...the only time i have ever really been inspired to play more..just recently..she is awesome..just bought "all hands on the bad one"-- i love it!


OOOoo RIGHT ON!! :D another fan who appreciates good music :) have you heard Dig Me Out? totally mindblowing!! :)

[indiffgrl]

I love Sleater-Kinney!!! They kick ass!! I hate NIN they suck balls!!

[hsewif]

According to their website, the are opening for PJ in Atlantic City...both nights.

[Rhinocerous Surprise]

Since the Woods was released, I have managed to convince 7 of my friends that Sleater-Kinney rock the proverbial casbah. As far as I'm aware, that now increases their Irish fanbase to...

8.

Damn. :)

[viggs20]

As much as I love The Woods it still doesn't top One Beat...that album converted me from a casual S-K fan to an absolute fanatic.

[MeddleDeal]

I have been on a Sleater-Kinney high right now. Been listening to "Call the Doctor," "All Hands on the Bad One," "Dig Me Out," and "One Beat" all of their songs are SO catchy!!

and OH!, is one of the coolest love songs ever!! :D

[PissBottleMan]

I've been listening to What's Yours is Mine here lately.

I know a lot of folks aren't fans of the ladies, but they rock out.

PBM

[tybird]

Their live show is electric!!! Sonic, man.

hey, not bad though...at least you are converting your friends :D Good job;)

[Nothingbetter]

I haven't had a chance to see them live yet, but will at Borgata. I'm looking forward to formulating my own opinion.

I think they have great stage presence*and amazing songs. They get a bad reputation because of their stage-sharing encores with Pearl Jam.

Their songs are great. You'll be impressed.

HUGE fan here. i've seen them live a bunch of times. they blew me away when i saw them a month or so ago. anything off the woods is ridiculous live.

i'll admit that they aren't for everyone, but i don't get the repeated bashing. i mean, you don't like them, say it once and move on...if you're going to a show where they are opening, show up a little late or just hang out far away from the stage when they are on...

What kind of stuff did they play in concert. I admit, I am excited to see them twice this year. Are they mainly sticking to The Woods?

the SK bashing here is just ridiculous but you have to remember that the average PJ fan that obsesses over on the porch is still stuck in 1992 ;)

[indiffgrl]

I love Sleater-Kinney I saw them live and they were orgasmic!!

[MeddleDeal]

I love Sleater-Kinney I saw them live and they were orgasmic!!

My sentiments EXACTLY! :D

Talk about PURE energy at their shows...and I LOVE seeing them live b/c you know you are going to get an intimate show..being like 4 ft. away from Corin and Janet was mindblowing for me.:) I hope I get to see these girls soon.:)

For you all Sleater-Kinney fans, who haven't been to a show of theirs recently, check out this live performance from Vancovuer, it does sound like they are playing a lot of material from The Woods...so check it out:D

nope the majority of them are in love with the Yield album meaning they're stuck in 97/98/99 back when kid rock and limp bizkit worshiped

[MeddleDeal]

BUMP for sleater-kinney!! :D

Give these girls some LOVE!!

[indiffgrl]

Sleater-kinney is fucking great!!

[intodeep]

I just got a copy of the woods it is my first album purchase of any of their music and man it is really cool. I am impressed i did not get any of their old cd's or the new one when it came out becasue when i saw them live truthfully i thought they were okay but nothing special, but after reading so many good things about the woods.... It is really cool.

hey glad you join in on the bandwagon :D The Woods is an awesome album..totally different from their previous ones. I love it SO much that I can't stop listening to it :)

[intodeep]

I like the entire album and there are probably better songs but Jumpers is really infectious. I can't get it out of my head. I saw a video for entertain last night on my on demand station called Havoc it was pretty cool.

They did a knock-out version of it on Letterman, and an even better one at the Variety Playhouse there in Hotlanta. What a road trip!

Actually, my first trip to Atlanta to see a show....been there 100s of other times, but never a concert.

We will be there for U2 and probably PJ when that tour happens. I don't see them hitting B'ham again.

[VEDHEAD27]

Wow, I'm so late to the S~K praise-fest. Ah well... better late than never, right? :D

Good call with starting this thread Meddle!

You know I think these chicks rock some serious ass!!! I've seen them live twice and I'm so aching for some more. They have such kick ass energy live. Last I saw them was @ The Fillmore show Meddle keeps mentioning. ;) Oooh damn, it was incredible!!!! Seeing them in an intimate setting just made it all that more kick ass too. Their vibe is so down to earth, like "we're your friends and we're just here to rock". haha. The girls were sooo into it too. I love that about them. They are all SO happy to be making music . You can really see that.

The first time I saw them live was (like many others) when they opened for PJ.... Denver 03 show. After that it was over! SOLD! haha. Seriously, they were fuckin phenomenal. The energy was out of this world. CARRIE?!?! OMG I love this chick. Her little kicks and slides across the stage?! :p And not just the theatrics, she straight up owns that guitar! She blows me away. She's just awesome as hell. And Janet?! :eek: HOLY SHIT!!! I remember at the Denver show me and my bf at the time could not take our eyes off of her. Just banging the hell away. SO much energy and passion behind those skins. Her talent is absolutely hypnotizing. And Corin? Well hey, I know many people cannot stand her voice and while I can see how it's not for everyone, I fuckin loooove it! The chick can wail something fierce. I really like the Grace Slick comparison...I can totally hear that. Her voice has such a kick to it and fits the music perfectly. She can rock it slow and controlled or just completely let loose and get kinda messy with it...which I LOVE and fully appreicate!


Overall these 3 chicks ROCK my world. So much talent and passion going on here. Thank fuck for a chick band that fully brings it! They rock harder than most. Such a unique, kick ass sound. I am SO glad Ed is such a fan of them and brought them on tour. If it weren't for that who knows, I may not have had the oppurunity and proper exposure to fall in love. So...thank you Eddie! :)


DIG ME OUT is by far my fav album. LOVE THIS ALBUM TO BITS! Probably one of my fav albums ever.


THE WOODS though!!? Wow! Beyond impressive and continues to rock me! The girls are back with a rockin vengeance. Seems like they are ALL on top of it more than ever. Again, daaamn JANET?! A-mazing work on this album. Whew! I'm so dying to hear some of these songs live. Can't wait till that day comes. :D




MUCH LOVE for S~K!

along with a few oldies and covered danzigs mother

much love for s-k

danzigs mother


Quite interesting

[VEDHEAD27]

Quite interesting


HA! I was thinking the saaame thing. :p

The girls sure put their own spin on things. Ain't no doubt in my mind Corin screams the hell outta "MOOOTHAAA!". I'm still damn curious to hear this one.

[tybird]

Quite interesting
oh yeah, they played that one in........drum roll please.....Atlanta!
Damn, they rocked it, too.

[MeddleDeal]

<~~i'm listening to the March 16, 2005 Show they did in Austin at SXSW...oh man oh man, these girls can sure wail!! The dynamics of Carrie and Corin are wonderful...they are each other's singing mates.

i love the way Corin tunes down her guitar to make it sound like a bass, which I think makes the S-K sound rougher. And Janet, gee, I don't think enough words can express how I feel about this chick, AMAZING!! She is cool in my book, b/c for one,
she can totally kick ASS in that band,
2.she can sing AND play drums at the same time (note:Quasi, her other band)
3.she auditioned by playing all the songs on Call the Doctor!!

These women can SO kick your ASS in anything!! :D sure it is a male dominated world, but these girls prove it that they can do it just as good as ANYONE can!!

VEDHEAD, I am glad you came on board to this thread;) Everything you said, is what exactly I would've said!!

I am SO interested in hearing that Danzig cover...did anyone hear their verision of Forunate Son? I think it is great!! :)

[viggs20]

This was posted on the SK website a few months back...wonder when this is coming out...Zach Hill is a phenomenal drummer :

In other Sleater-Kinney news, Weiss recorded a drums-only album (due out later this year) in January with Matt Cameron of Soundgarden/Pearl Jam fame and Hella's Zach Hill at Portland's Jackpot! Studio. "We set up three kits and improvised for a few days," Weiss wrote in the Q&A portion of the band's site. "We hadn't practiced together, and had no set ideas as to what the record would end up sounding like. We sat down and played what we felt during those particular moments together.

"It was exciting to work in such an improvisational atmosphere, and absolutely thrilling to rock with two guys who push our instrument's capabilities far beyond the established boundaries," Weiss continued. "The three of us ripped it up!" — Jenny Tatone [Tuesday, April 6, 2004]

LOL! Yes! Love it. :D



<~~~~ listening to {{White Rabbit}} cover


How in the world could I forget to mention this on my fav list? :eek:
This cover is incredible! The girls have this one doooown. Love that intro bass!!! And the vocals are sooo dead on. It's definitely like Corin was just made to cover this song. What an excellent choice! When she belts out the ending...."FEEEEED YOOOOOUR HEEEEAD" Abso-fuckin-lutely awesome!!! :D

I like what I hear though.

Everyone basis it on Corin's voice, either take it or leave it! I could understand why some people don't like them, but come on, give respect for these women who can write an awesome song!! Have you read their lyrics people?

~JUMPERS~
I spend the afternoon in cars
I sit in traffic jams for hours
Don't push me
I am not OK

The sky is blue most every day
The lemons grow like tumors they
Are tiny suns infused with sour

Lonely as a cloud
In the Golden State
"The coldest winter that I ever saw
Was the summer that I spent..."

The only substance is the fog
And it hides all that has gone wrong
Can't see a thing
Inside the maze

There is a bridge adored and famed
The Golden spine of engineering
Who's back is heavy
With my weight

Be still this old heart
Be still this old skin
Drink your last drink
Sin your last sin
Sing your last song
About the beginning
Sing your song loud
So the people can hear
Let's Go
Be still this sad day
Be still this sad year
Hope your last hope
Fear you last fear
Your not the only one
Let's Go

My falling shape will draw a line
Between the blue of sea and sky
I'm not a bird
I'm not a plane

I took the taxi to the gate
I will not go to school again
Four seconds was
The longest wait

I love jumpers. It is possibly my favorite song to come out in 2005 so far. It infects me. Sitting in atlanta traffic sometimes makes you want to find a bridge that might be why :) (just kidding obviously it's not that bad)

I put the woods in on my way to work and jumpers finishes right as i arrive to work without fail.

http://www.free-soulseek.com/

it is kind of like napster and limewire. I got mine for free though, I don't know how it is now. There is a good search engine you can use, if you can't find it when you search, you can always put them on your wishlist, so whenever the name comes up, you will get a list of the songs that are available for download.

I would have NO idea if it is compatiable w/ipods, since i don't have an ipod player. :/

[MeddleDeal]

BUMP for these girls in rock that aren't afraid to take any chances when it comes to their music!! :D

They are on the front cover of DIW (Devil In the Woods) indie magazine :)

I don't know if I posted about this song on this thread, but it is a great song and everyone should listen to it :)

This song is one powerful song, and to me, i think it is the hard part of breaking up, and going through that awkward transition.

~Good Things~
got this feeling when i heard your name the other day
couldn't say it, couldn't make it go away
it's a hard place, can't be friends, we can't be enemies
it's just too much, feel the weight crushing down on my face

the hardest part is things already said
getting better, worse, i can not tell
why do good things never wanna stay?
some things you lose, some things you give away

broken pieces, try to make it good again
is it worth it, will it make me sick today
it's a dumb song, but i'll write it anyway
it's an old mistake, but we always make it, why do we

the hardest part is things already said
getting better, worse, i can not tell
why do good things never wanna stay?
some things you lose, some things you give away

this time, it'll be alright
this time, it'll be okay
this time, it'll be alright
this time, it'll be okay

the hardest part is things already said
getting better, worse, i can not tell
why do good things never wanna stay?

[markymark550]

Great band! They take chances with their music and it is awesome. Had no idea who they were before I saw them open up for Pearl Jam in 2003. Put on a great show in Charlotte and got me interested. Now I am becoming a big SK fan.

[MeddleDeal]

Right ON markymark550:D I think a lot of us on the forum was exposed to them b/c they opened up for PJ,which I think it is rad!!:)

Before they opened up for PJ, I only heard one song from working at the college radio station, but man, those girls can kick some SERIOUS ass!!:D

For all of you S-K fans out there...their new video for "Jumpers" is on myspace.com :cool: I really dig it!! They left Carrie's vocal parts on that song...WOHOOOHO!

RIGHT ON PBM!! :D I haven't seen these girls live since last year in San Francisco, but I have seen it on the dvd that came w/the Woods, very AWESOME!!! These girls sure know how to ROCK and kick MAJOR ASS!!

To you all haters out there, they are doing something that you aren't, and that is making music on THEIR terms...that is why PJ loves them.:)

[MeddleDeal]

There is a reason why PJ chose Sleater-Kinney to open up for them AGAIN!! :D To all you haters out there...:p respect this band, even if you don't like them, respect them at the shows...honestly, if it was your band, do you really want people to be hating you on stage? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

To all you S~K lovers, this song is 4 U!!!

This song says it all!!

Words + Guitar

Words + guitar
I got it words + guitar
I like it
Way way too loud
I got it words + guitar
I play it all i play it all
I play it words + guitar
(can’t take this away from me
music is the air I breathe)

Take take the noise in my head
Take take the noise in my head
C’mon and turn turn it up
I wanna turn turn you on
I play it all I play it all
I play it words + guitar
(well you want it or you don’t
either you’ll come or you won’t
it’s the thing you’ll never know
it’s the thing you’ll never own
rock you till your good and dead
rock you till there’s nothing left)

I dream of quiet songs
I hear the silky sounds
Hush hush and rock
Oh give me pretty song
Oh let me have that sound
Tonight

[VEDHEAD27]

Oooo I LOVE that song Nadia! :D Good pick. ;)

As for the haters, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...I've just never understood having so much anger...it's one thing to just not care for something but to go out of the way to bash, insult and disrespect is so uncalled for. But ANYways.....


Can't wait to hear HARVEST MOON from last nights show! :eek: How cool is that!??! :D

HORRAY for ~SK~ and all the LOVERS! :D

THANKS GIRLS!

*claps along*


:>TURN IT ON <:

don't say the word
if you don't want it done
don't tell me your name
if you don't want it sung
don't come any closer
that's good enough
don't go away
can't stand the thought

it's too warm
inside your hands
it's too hard
it's too good
it's just tht when you touched me
i could not stand up
i fell into
i fell down

why can't you tell me
is it worth a fight
do i sound crazy
well i just might
why do your words
have to ring so false
why do your eyes
have to change so much

RIGHT ON GIRL!! :D This band TOTALLY blew me away at the San Antonio show in 2003. I was impressed...i mean, 3 female musicians just playing music...NO lights, no fire, it was just them and their music...and that is what won me over :cool:

Lydia, i agree. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but also, why the hate guys, I just don't understand, just b/c they are singing w/their favorite band on stage, that gives you a right to say crap about them? Whatever happened to respect?!

anyoot!

GREAT songs btw, I LOVE Turn It On..such a dancing song!! Here is another one:

Good Things
Album: Call The Doctor

Got this feeling
When I heard your name the other day
Couldn’t say it
Couldn’t make it go away
It’s a hard place
Can’t be friends we can’t be enemies
It’s just too much
I feel the weight crushing down on my face

The hardest part is things already said
Getting better worse I cannot tell
Why do good things never wanna stay
Some things you lose some things you give away

Broken pieces
Try and make it good again
Is it worth it?
Will it make me safe today?
It’s a dumb song
but i’ll write it anyway
It’s an old mistake
but we always make it why do we

This time it’ll be alright
This time it’ll be okay

it's fine not to like SK, i understand they might not appeal to everyone but to bitch about it every five minutes is unnecessary because you know it could be worse ;)

and i think they definitely deserve respect because it's just them and the music onstage, you don't get any fluff.

[indiffgrl]

They are fucking great!! I love them !!

(I was almost going to go, but my friend decided he was going to go afterall:() Those girls seriously kick SO much ass!! And Pearl Jam did a Modern Girl tag for Not For You?! Two of my favorite songs, COMBINED!! SO envious Ottawa!! :D

[VEDHEAD27]

[viggs20]

Listened to The Hot Rock tonight...

And when the body finally starts to let go
let it all go at once
not peice by peice,
but like a whole bucket of stars
dumped into the universe
Whoooh! Watcb it go!
Good-bye small hands, good-bye small heart
good-bye small head
My soul is climbing tree trunks
and swinging from every branch

They're calling on me,
they're calling on me...

Do you think I'm an animal?
Am I not?
Do you like fur
Do you wanna come over
Are we captive only for a short time
Is there splendor, I'm not ashamed
Desire shoots through me
like birds singing
(The way you move no ocean's waves were ever as fluid)

They're calling on me,
they're calling on me...

I hit the mark!
I target moon, I target sky, I target sun.
Fall down on the world before it falls on you.

Like beggars, like Stars,
like whores, us all
Like beggars, like dogs
Like Stars, us all

Shoot straight for my heart
(And when you were near no sky was ever quite so clear)

Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers, Get Up!
Get up...too far.

Get Up.

[MeddleDeal]

GREAT song Viggs20...I was thinking of that song while I was walking to work...just love their ode to Sonic Youth in that song, in their style.:)

and thanks Lydia for letting me listen to Harvest Moon by the girls...how can people say they ruin songs w/PJ on stage?! You guys are INSANE! And they CAN sing, just maybe not in the style you guys are used to:)

LOVE this part:

Like stars, so small
Like us, when we fall
Like beggars, like whores
Like lovers, Get Up!
Get up...too far.

nah i missed SK on their tour this year but i saw them open for PJ twice at MSG and PNC, both times they were amazing. and MSG was the first time i ever saw SK and I like how they just bring it, straight up rock and roll, no fancy schmansy lights or whatever.

[letsongsprotest]

I finally sat and watched their set in Hamilton and damn they kicked ass. I couldnt stop watching Carrie, she owns the stage!!! Yet another band that PJ has turned me on to. .............It was cool during their set in Hamilton, Matt was rockin out to them on the side of the stage for pretty much the whole set, and Mike and Ed were watching for a bit too.

[indiffgrl]

They are wonderful!! I love them!!

AWWW that is TOO cool!! I am glad that you watched them and listened w/an open ear :D Yep...Carrie is always fun to look at, w/her high kicks and jumping around the stage, you can SO tell that these girls are having such a great time!!

At the San Antonio 2003 show, I went to, Matt joined the girls during one of their songs and played tamborine. It was just TOO cute!! Then Matt and Stone were watching from the right side of the stage during their set...those boys LOVE these girls!!:)

[VEDHEAD27]

YES THANK YOU! CARRIE IS THE SHIT!! Looooove her little kicks! :D Yeah totally Nadia, they are ALL having such fun up there. I love that. They have such a great vibe.

<~~~ listening to HARVEST MOON from Montreal and can't stop :o

*does hula dance*

Seriously, how amazing does this sound??? Eddie and the girls sound perfect together. Jesus! See, while some can't stand Corin's voice...I've never been a huge fan of Neil's (I know, I know :rolleyes: )...totally repect the man as a musician but never been huge on the voice. I've always thought this song was absolutely gorgeous though...and now there's THIS version..with ED AND THE GIRLS!!! It's straight up heaven. I LOVE IT & can't get enough!!!!!!! And the lucky bastards got it again tonight!

Also wanna say how I love Ed for doing a increase of pre-sets when SK opens for them. :) He wants to make sure people get there early! Awww! I love the love! :)

[MeddleDeal]

I agree Lydia, that verison of Harvest Moon is absolutely GORIGOUS :D :D

PJ + SK=PRETTIFUL music together! :D :D

I am SO tempted to put this on the Negative Sleater-Kinney threads, but I will constrain myself b/c I am nice like that! ;)

I LOVE it how they asked Stone about playing w/S~K:

And what about jamming with Sleater-Kinney, the smart, gritty guitar band that's opening tonight's concert?

"I don't think that we can help ourselves but to do that," Gossard said.


AWWWW that is why Stone kicks ASS!! :cool:

Aww I know! I LOVE THAT! :D


Oooooh, and can't forget yet another reason why OTTAWA people were blessed beyond belief...they got to see SK do MOTHER with Mikey!!! AHHH!! *explodes*

Oh My God......they already did a kick-ass version of that song without any help, but have the one, the only McCready join them.........wow!

[intodeep]

I just picked up Dig Me Out yesterday. It is my second SK album ( i have the woods also) So far I am enjoying it. Not as much as The Woods though.

Awesome!!!! :D Dig me Out is my fav album. :)


tyburd, I know huh!??! :eek: Again, the lukcy bastards!

[VEDHEAD27]

Speaking of Dig Me Out....loved in 2003 @ the Denver show when Ed tagged "Dig me Out" onto Porch!!!! God damn did that work brilliantly. :D

[letsongsprotest]

seeing PJ and the girls do Harvest Moon and then RITFW togethor was awesome. Especially Harvest Moon, absolutely perfect! I picked up The Woods over the weekend, and thats all I'm jamming right now.

Props to these ladies, they kick ass!!

[tybird]

tyburd, I know huh!??! :eek: Again, the lukcy bastards!
My fingers are crossed for something sweet like this to happen in Halifax!!!!!!!

[beachdweller]

I know that S-K has been ask to play Bridge School before, and said it would be tough breaking their music down, but I hope the decide to give it a go. acoustic punk works for me, lol

been listening to some of my old s-k concert boots, and Corin's voice is always brilliant, 96, 97, 98, 99, and up to now.

I do wish they would play a little longer and bust out more of their pre 97 stuff though.

[smithnic]

They did a song both nights I saw them that I cannot find on either of the albums (woods and one beat) that goes "my whole life is jsut a picture of a sunny day"
Maybe I missed it, but that song is really good (like the rest of them), any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's "Modern Girl" from "The Woods"....it can be hard to understand under the distortion.

I'm pretty sure that's Modern Girl from The Woods, track 5

[MeddleDeal]

Awww my little Carrie bear on "Modern Girl"! That little chick kicks SO much ASS!! I love her voice in that song:)

<~~~listening to "Jumpers" after having a STRESSFUL day all around, this song relieves a lot of stress...DAMN Janet!! Those drums, trying to follow her is very hard! :D

<~~~~ooo, now listening to "You Ain't It" <---another KICK ASS song!! These girls are too much for me! haha. I can't believe they did MOTHER w/Mikey!! that is TOO much OVERLOAD!! :eek: DAMN U OTTAWA!! :mad:

[MeddleDeal]

<~~~Just heard a live verison of Mother from S~K with the members of Pearl Jam....pretty amazing how Corin can REALLY sing and how that song suites her voice!!!:)

[PearlJamaholic]

does anyone know the set from the philly show? cause the one song carrie (is that her name?) starts playing pretty much just noise. i cant remember if it was a few songs before or a few after modern girl. thats the only song title i know cause eddie tagged it. anyways they are kinda growing on me though i still cant stand corwin (thats her name right?) much.

[VEDHEAD27]

I've been listening to What's Yours is Mine here lately.

PBM


YES!! When I first heard The Woods this one really stood out to me & now I am just completey in love!! This song is AMAZING!! Ooooh man, and that breakdown?! :eek: These sounds??! All distorted and bluesy! Holy !@#$#$! I know it's a bold statement that some would want to kill me over, but totally reminding me of a live Hendrix jam. Looove it! Mmm mmm good. Looove how they ooze back into the song too. And JANET at the end?? :eek: Whooooooooa.

Damn these chicks can fuckin shred! \m/ :D

*dances away to......

ºº~WHAT'S MINE IS YOURS~ºº

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
Rest you head on this heart of mine
Tell me, honey, cause you look so blue
Just how did they, did they get to you?
If it's all a waste of time
I'm gonna spent it
Yours and mine.

Someone's in the kitchen
Cooking hearts over the stove
Don't lie to me, never say goodbye to me
I don't want to be here alone
Someone's at the front door
Selling Band-Aids for our sores
You can bleed it, as long as they don't see it
We're not going to be ignored

Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town.
If it's all a dirty shame,
I'm gonna do it night and day

Did you ever get the feeling
That you don't belong
Said the teacher in the classroom
I think there's something wrong
But your desks are too heavy
And your walls are too white
Your rules are all wrong
And it's either run or fight
I'm still running
I'm still running

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
Rest you head on this heart of mine
Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town
If it's all a waste of time
I'm gonna spend it
Yours and mine

Not really into the band. I know Pearl Jam and critics love them but they are kind of weak live and the records aren't that good.

[libragirl]

I really was never into them, I saw them on tour w/PJ and found them annoying but i bought their latest album and it isnt bad. I have to say they more tolerable on record.

thanks!!!!

thanks!!!!

I got most of my live Sleater-Kinney stuff through Soulseek, a download software, kind of like Limewire. the only show I have is the SXSW 2004 show...I want my hands on the San Antonio 2003 one.

And these girls can ROCK it live!! :D

[Lost_Clay]

wow i just noticed i didn't post in this thread

i just wanna say they kicked ass in halifax, i was listenin' to 'the woods' for quite awhile before the show and it's even better live, got to hear corin wail (vocals) on fortunate son live & soundcheck

fuckin awesome

[IamMine]

:eek: How could I NOT have looked for S-K in the Other Music!! I usually always stuck myself in the AET or Porch forum, sometimes MT.

Glad to hear a lot of people enjoy S-K! I had already posted my story about meeting S-K in the GTF forum (The OTHER setlist thread). :)

Hubby and I bumped into Carrie in Kitchener where we talked for 15 minutes and she asked for our names to get in the Detroit show for free! We bumped into Carrie and Janet AGAIN in London! :D It was just pure luck! :D

Look for S-K interview/pictures I posted on this forum - http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=147651

Those musicians ROCK! I enjoyed meeting them and talking with them!!!

I am still grinning over the fact that Carrie signed "thank you" in sign language! Sure made my day! :)

[Brain of Sam]

Yea these chicks definitely rule and I really enjoyed them at the Philly show. Sadly I only own The Hot Rock. I've been meaning to pick up a few more albums but where I live their records are hard to find. I guess that's one of the disadvantages of being an indie band.

[DaytimeDilemma]

Saw them last thursday. Fucking awesome show.

[VictoryGin]

Oh, Sleater-Kinney, I love you. Thanks for the great show on Thursday and the most amazing show last night.

This is one of the best bands out there.

[Murder]

I recently bought the woods and LOVE it. I'm definatly going to go see em live if i can!!!!

:D:D:D:D

I was at the record store the other day and couldn't decide between buying "The Woods" or "One Beat" so I didn't buy either. Any recommendations?

Both are while worth the money.....I actually like "One Beat" a little better, but
"The Woods" might be stronger overall. Flip a coin.

[Milhouse VanHouten]

I was lucky enough to see Sleater-Kinney a few weeks ago, and it was an amazing show. The performances were awesome, especially Carrie Brownstein's. Between her monsters of rawk guitar tone and Towshend-like stage moves, I was blown away. Everything about her screamed 'rock star', and I mean that in a good way. She completely owned the stage.

All great bands show an evolutionary trend....Led Zeppelin and the Beatles come to mind first. Some times bands evolve away from their core fan group, see Metallica. Yes, Sleater-Kinney shows a distinct evolutionary trend. If a band does not evolve, they run the risk of going musically extinct.

<~~ blastin Entertain

These drums!!! WOOOOO!!!! :D Janet ROCKS SO HARD! :D

I also looove the break down at the end of this song "(Dont drag me down,
I'm not falling down)". Incredible! The Woods has so many layers...so many songs sound like they just tranform into completely different songs halfway through...and just when you think that's the case the girls bring back the original song and tie it all together. Amazing! Such kick ass jams and break downs on this album. They really are just getting better and better if ya ask me. :D

Entertain sure is rockin & catchy as hell!

<~~~listening to my "WOMEN WHO ROCK!" playlist on my itunes, and Wilderness just came on...this song kicks ASS!! I swear, by their lyrics, they are SO in love with California :D
This song, is one of my favorites off of their new album, this one, Entertain, Modern Girl, Night Lights, and What's Mine Is Yours are the highlights for me. KEEP ON ROCKIN' GIRLS!! :D :D :D

~WILDERNESS~
Kenny and Linda on the way to Chelan
transmission’s shot, no back up plan
will they hitch a ride?
or get into a fight?

moved to the West Coast
packed up their things
the winters are gray
now so are the dreams
they tried, to make it all right

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn’t turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires

said “I Do” in the month of May
said “I Don’t” just the very next day
will they try again?
or is it doom for them?

moved to a city
where hippies run wild
everything’s white
now so are the smiles
they tried, to fight the good fight

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn’t turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires

we’re split right in half
it’s making me crazy
a two-headed brat
tied to the other for life

a family feud
the Red and the Blue now
it’s Truth against Truth
I’ll see you in hell, I don’t mind

all our little wishes have run dry
made it to the water, waded in the lies
when we felt the heat
couldn’t turn it into fire
too caught up in our own desires

We finally got some films developed...

and we found one picture we took of Carrie and Janet on the street in London.

:D

Hubby only took one picture cuz they knew a picture was being taken so we stopped in respond to their body language.

Here you go:
