"They might bristle at this, because they've heard this a million times, but the importance of what they've done for women in rock music is second to none," says Tony Kiewel, who signed the band to Sub Pop Records two years ago for what would be their final album, "The Woods." "They've opened a lot of doors for women. They've also shown that you can not only age gracefully but evolve in surprising ways and achieve things beyond the obvious goal of pushing in new directions. They've excelled over an extended period at trying different things, and not a lot of bands have done that. Besides the Flaming Lips, I have a hard time thinking of other bands who have produced as much great music in various genres over the course of a long career."
I have a hard time thinking of a better band, too.
Sleater-Kinney.
Best. Band. Ever.
Thank you, Sleater-Kinney.
See you on Friday night in Grant Park.
