Sleater-Kinney - 2015-04-15 Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater Webstream 720

Unfortunately i dont have tix for the thursday show, its the friday. Maybe body/head will play both dates ;)

The tour stopped in Atlanta last night. They were stupid-good as I expected. They were tight on very on point. I had mild concern about how Corin Tucker’s voice might show it’s age. It didn’t. She wailed like a banshee and was in control the entire time. Carrie Brownstein is a full-on rock star in the vein of Pete Townsend or something. Her onstage showboating (leg kicks, attitude, and snarl) was a thing of beauty. Her guitar playing was equally as good...she has become quite the player. Just watching her would’ve been worth the price of admission. During ‘Entertain’ (which was an absolute highlight) she knocked over her mic stand in a fury by accident, but then made a point of continuing to beat it up. It was a totally in-the-moment slice of punk-rock cake. Janet Weiss is a BEAST on drums. She plays SO HEAVY and propels every song. Her backing vocals and harmonies are critical too (never appreciated that before). The Atlanta crowd was amped and, early on, SK made a point of saying we might be the best crowd so far on tour. They meant it. The show before ours in New Orleans was the tour debut of ‘The Fox’. Well, we got it mid-set. During the noise-swirl frenzy Corin Tucker channeled (vocally) something from another dimension. She sounded possessed and I loved it. That 30 seconds may have been the best 30 seconds of the show. Simply amazing. ‘Jumpers’ (probably my favorite SK song) delivered every penny’s worth right before the encore. ‘Oh!’, ‘Words and Guitar’, and ‘One More Hour’ were the other major highlights. Great, great show.

Carrie upped her rockstar game with wild flag.. janet's drumwork has just aged like wine, and corin has improved her singing through the corin tucker band.. im looking forward to next week like a kid at Christmas

Uggh... Thursday night gets Body/Head and yet friday gets Ian Rubbish(fred armenson) making fun of punk?? Lame..

THEEsatisfaction were some badbitchez yo, real hip hop

So it was a different SK but not a cliched half assed reunion show. It was surreal to see them all together, i mean ive seen Wild Flag, Corin Tucker Band, and even ex-hex buts its been over ten years! It was like every other SK tour, they brought a different sound than their last tours, a kind of progression. Weirdly it sounded like picking up somewhere where the last tour left of musically. The energy was a bit slower and more of a groove. Im glad i waited for the show to finally be introduced to the new music. It was not what i expected, had a more groove to it. They also had more chemistry and energy on the new songs. They played all of those and also many of my favs.. Youth Decay, Oh, All hands on the bad one, sympathy, one more hour, dig me out, words+guitar, the fox, wilderness, jumpers, entertain, get up, all hands on the bad one, living in exile, one beat, Light rail coyote, lets call it love..

You can tell me such-and-such is the greatest band in the world only so many times before I shut down. I don't like SK anymore and it's the media's fault.

However, I'm collecting boots from the latest tour because sooner than later people will turn on them, at which point I'll listen to the boots and re-discover my love of their music while everyone else will be complaining about how over-rated they are.

In San Francisco, "Ian" was joined onstage by Bob Mould! I take it that wasn't the case in L.A.?

I was drinking inthe parking lot, got in there in middle of THEEsatisfaction set.. but SK was so damned good i didn't mind missing body/head at all

Sheesh. When I go to a concert and I don't have a numbered seat I show up crazy early and I CHEAT BEG STEAL AND LIE to secure a prime posish right in front of the performer. That's how I roll...

My pit skills are on point, i never missed the front row at any GA shows in my life (including at SK) yet never get there early, i hate lines and standing around. Id rather drink and toke outside then squeeze/maneuver/shimmy/coerce my way to the front

I only stay in back at reggae shows so i can dance
