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.
