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

words and guitar
i got it words and guitar
i like it
way way too loud
i got it words and guitar
i play it all i play it all
i play it words and 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 and 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
