Sleater-Kinney w/ THEESatisfaction @ Stubb's - 4/172015
Hundreds of umbrellas littered the entrance to Stubb's and the crowd was a sea of cheap plastic ponchos and trashbags. Fans that arrived early to get a good spot or to watch R&B duo THEESatisfaction braved a couple of hours of rain. Luckily, by the time Corin, Carrie and Janet took the stage the rain was gone, and as they hit the first chords to "Price Tag" the rain was forgotten. Devotees that have followed the members' side projects during their were smashed as they launched into "Oh!" from 2002's One Beat with Corin wailing with the same primal energy as they did over a decade ago. Trading off vocal and lead guitar parts was Carrie Brownstein, arguably the most well-known member of the group, and the popularity of Portlandia cannot be understated as a catalyst toward garnering new fans for the band and most likely bringing about the end of SK's haitus. Nonetheless, seeing her onstage while her guitar roars out riff after riff, you can tell the love of what they do is what ultimately brought them back together. - [The Horn]
Just a couple days after taping an upcoming episode of Austin City Limits, Sleater-Kinney were back in town for a big show at Stubb's with their Sub Pop labelmates THEESatisfaction. Thankfully the rain stopped right before they went on. Pics and setlist from Stubb's are in this post. More below...
