Biography
Olympia, Washington, United States (1994 – 2006)
The group’s name is derived from Sleater Kinney Road, Interstate 5 off ramp #108 in Lacey, Washington, the location of one of their early practice spaces. They formed in and were a vital part of the riot grrrl and punk scenes in Washington, although they later relocated to Portland, Oregon. Throughout its existence the band was often noted by critics for its “anthemic” feminist message, its willingness to reinvent the musical palette of punk rock, and its consistency in producing highly acclaimed albums.
Corin Tucker had previously been a member of Heavens To Besty (and would form the side project Cadillaca while a member of Sleater-Kinney), and Brownstein had been a member Excuse 17 (and, like Tucker, formed a side project, The Spells, while still a member of Sleater-Kinney). Weiss, a member of Quasi, and later Motorgoat and Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, became the band’s drummer in 1996. The band released seven albums, “Sleater-Kinney” (1995), “Call the Doctor” (1996), “Dig Me Out” (1997), “The Hot Rock” (1999), “All Hands on the Bad One” (2000), “One Beat” (2002) and “The Woods” (2005) before disbanding in 2006, with the members going on to pursue other projects.

I was sort of shocked looking around on these shoutboxes and finding so many instances of people who A) had an issue with the noisiness of Woods and B) seemingly not realizing that none of that was by mistake. Jerks.

the saddest event in my life at that time was the fact that Steve was no longer on Blue's Clues [2]

The Woods noise elements are pretty great, if i was a new listener when the woods came out i would definitely have been drawn to the band through it. Overall from their entire library, I don't think there is a single bad song. They were just one of those bands that when they were going to do something they did it right.

@budfox13 The heavy distortion is one of things I like most about The Woods.

In 2006, I was much too young to comprehend that Sleater-Kinney were no more. No, the saddest event in my life at that time was the fact that Steve was no longer on Blue's Clues. But if I was the me I am now back in 2006, I would have cried for weeks.
