Sleater-Kinney, What a popular street location in the town of Lacey, Wa! Is it so popular that a band proceeds to take that title? Yes indeed! The Trio Rock band from the Pacific Northwest by the name of Sleater-Kinney is not a regular band full of guys like you would contemplate it is. I would say this band is a bombshell. That is because this all-girl rock band by the names of Carrie Brownstein,Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss have an edgy , vulgar and unique style of performing that you would never think that the voices were in them. While listening and enduring the music that these ladies create, it gives such shocking results!The band members orginating from the Pacific Northwest was one of the many groups in the Olympia music scene developing their music in basements. From the official website of the Sleater-Kinney band, Carrie stated that "Corin left a message for me one day saying that we would call ourselves 'Sleater-Kinney'. Up until that moment it had only been a road in a neighboring town. Now it was us. If band names were like baby names, we had picked a Gilbert or Sinclair or Beatrice. When we said, 'We've picked out a name', we always got a 'Hmm', or a head scratch, or a comment as soon as we left the room, like 'that poor kid will be teased endlessly'. Never listen to other people's advice about your band name. Otherwise, you will end up with an Ashley, or a Madison."
From naming songs after they are written, the random decision of naming their band, and shocking energy of three petite local ladies, I must say that they are complete bombshell and bring much history and memories to the Olympia music scene today.
