Biography

Alternative rock band from the American Pacific Northwest. Formed in Olympia, Washington (USA) in 1994, then moved to Portland, Oregon. Went on "indefinite hiatus" in 2006. Reformed in 2014. Sleater-Kinney (the name is taken from a local road name in Lacey, WA ) were in the middle of the Riot Grrrl scene in the 1990s, and they were one of the few to survive the inevitable backlash (along with [a=Allison Wolfe] and [a=Kathleen Hanna]). Originally, the band was [a=Corin Tucker] and [a=Carrie Brownstein]'s side-project. The Australian-born [a=Laura Macfarlane] became the band's first permanent drummer in late 1994. In 1997, [a=Janet Weiss] became their new drummer. After a few albums recorded with [a=John Goodmanson], they went into an unfamiliar studio with [a=Dave Fridmann] in late 2004, to record their first album for Sub Pop. In the summer of 2006, they announced an "indefinite hiatus", and they played their final U.S. gigs in August. They were in other bands before, during, and after Sleater-Kinney's 11 year run: Corin has been in both [a=Heavens To Betsy (2)] and [a=Cadallaca], Carrie in [a=Excuse 17] and [a4589038], Laura in [a=Ninetynine], and Janet in [a=Quasi (2)]. In 2019 Weiss announced her departure from the band, which is now in its core a duo: Carrie Brownstein - guitar, vocals Corin Tucker - guitar, vocals

LYRICS

they want to socialize you
they want to purify you
they want to dignify, analyze and terrify you
this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or shake me
i'm your monster i'm not like you
all your life is written for you

(look out they want what you know
steal a kid break a heart steal the show
peel back the skin see what's there
i'll never show you what's in here)

you're life is good for one thing
you're messing with what's sacred
they want to simplify your needs and likes
to sterilize you

this is love and you can't make it
in a formula or break me
i'm your monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before you

(don't need you to explain the pain
i can prove to you it's all fake
she's dead but she can stand she can walk
call the doctor miracle she can talk)

call the doctor

this is love and you can't break it
in a formula or make me
i'm no monster i'm just like you
all my life is right before me

(this is not really me at all
stunt girl daring twirls watch me fall
carbon copy same body different hearts
can't tell anymore the real parts)
