Sleater-Kinney Call It Quits
Sleater-Kinney,
indisputably one of the most important bands of the last decade
or so, have officially broken up. Their website begins with the
following statement:
After eleven
years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite
hiatus. The upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now,
there are no plans for future tours or recordings.
We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people
over the years. We want to thank everyone who has worked with
us, written kind words about us, performed with us, and inspired
us.
But mostly we want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans.
You have been a part of our story from the beginning. We could
not have made our music without your enthusiasm, passion, and
loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey worthwhile.
With love and thanks,
Sleater-Kinney
You can however
witness a handful of swan song shows this summer at the Forecastle
Festival, Lollapallooza, Philly’s Starlight Ballroom, DC’s
9:30, and NYC’s Webster Hall.
They won't soon
be forgotten...
