Oh wow....Really not a good way to end the work day.  I just got into them after hearing the Woods and they became one of my favorite bands.  I'm glad they're still going to do the 930 show.  I'm going to that for sure.

I blame it on someone's balls. Maybe the balls of theguy that got the one chick pregnant. If only they'd stuck to lesbianism.

Well, I've seen them many times and enjoyed the hell out of every show.  I wish I could get to the NYC show as well, but just can't do it that week.

i'm not a huge fan of theirs (especially their earlier stuff), but i think they had a really cool career arc from an artistic POV
 
 a perfect case study in a band that starts out from the punk scene and grows musically more complex and dynamic with every album (ala the clash or a million others) ... and a good example, IMO, of how a band's last/later album(s) can be their best, even when their first makes a strong and somewhat unique statement

Good point hoya.  I never could get into their earlier records but when I first heard the Woods, I was just floored.  That was my favorite from last year, just a really powerful, fantastic record.  And like magic, their entire back catalog suddenly made "sense" to me.

I couldn't get into the Woods because of terrible production. Too much "bad" distortion and static noise in the background = unbearable and unlistenable.
 
 HOT ROCK is the best!

Does anyone know the staus of their 9:30 show?
 
 Sleater-Kinney's web site says "The upcoming summer shows will be our last." Which sounds like they will be playing.
 
 But the show doesn't appear on www.tickets.com or on the listing of concerts on the 9:30's home page.

You have to post at least 1000 times before you are privy to that info. Start posting, and please makes all of your post interesting and intelligent, like the rest of us do. Thanks!
