I went to see Sleater Kinney in Santa Cruz the other day, and I learned a few things about myself and the world around me:
1. Drummer Janet Weiss is a woman possessed, not only playing back to back with Quasi and then Sleater Kinney, but playing the drums, the guitar, and singing all at the same time.
2. I hate generic indie pop, and when I hear it, it makes me go wall-eyed, much like on the Simpsons. I now have a much greater appreciation for what they’re feeling when they go googly-eyed, even if they are just cartoon characters.
3. At every show I have ever been to, no matter where it is, there’s always the contingent of crazy butchies who push everyone around and start a mosh pit and eventually throw their tops on to the stage. Yes, there are such thing as unattractive boobs.
You can keep an eye out for their new album and learn more about the wonderful ladies of Sleater Kinney at The Official Website of Sleater Kinney.
