Bad Weather And The Lack Of Live shows In 2015

By Iman Lababedi | March 7, 2015

For better or worse and even if you are going there for the primary purpose of reviewing the show, you are hoping for a pleasant experience. And last month the weather made sure you didn’t get one, nothing felt worth the effort of going to a show.

Sleater Kinney At Terminal 5, Thursday, February 26th, 2015, Reviewed

By Iman Lababedi | February 27, 2015

There is something a little icy about them, as live bands go SK play it a little too cool, a little too close to their chest, if the music is releasing something it is hard to see quite what it is.They don’t talk to us much, the set is ridiculously short, and the band aren’t that forthcoming

Let’s Active: rock nyc Concert Picks Week Of February 23rd, 2015

By Iman Lababedi | February 22, 2015

The second most anticipated concert of the year, right after D’Angelo, is this killer reunion: the all girl masters Sleater Kinney. I followed em through much of their career (I got bored circa The Woods), and saw both Wild flag and the Corin Tucker Backer (the latter at Mercury Lounge where Tucker sold her own tee shirts) and I love the new album and always loved them live. So I am more than excited to catch em on Thursday (they are also playing Friday). Yes, even at Terminal Five.

Sleater Kinney In Bob’s Burgers Fantasy

By Alyson Camus | February 21, 2015

There is always something magical about seeing musicians in cartoon, it’s funny and cute and Carrie, Corin and Janet have never looked so powerful at what they are doing. They make the Burgers crew bounce, kick and jump to the riotous tune, ‘A New Wave’, which is of course one song off Sleater Kinney’s latest release ‘No Cities to Love’

Leading Up To Sleater Kinney’s Late February Gig 2015: The Spokane, WA Setlist, Spotified

By Iman Lababedi | February 10, 2015

Well, I know we are both salivating at that three song mini set i the middle of the encore. The only song from Call The Doctor is one of the best they’ve got and it is surrounded by their two other best songs ever. Otherwise, I am less of a fan of their other stuff though they scatter the wealth pretty well and altogether, scuse me if I get very very excited now

Sleater Kinney’s “No Cities To Love” Video reviewed

By Iman Lababedi | January 17, 2015

Hearing all these voices sing the hook hooked me, it taught me to hear it and as videos go it was a real blast. The song, about what we love in environments is not the environments offers a joke before a as a rebuke to David Byrne’s “Cities” -“it’s the loving we love” the band concludes.

Sleater Kinney, Belle And Sebastian, And Viet Cong REALLY REALLY Early Review

By Iman Lababedi | January 13, 2015

There may be worse ways to review albums than on your work PC, with the sound low, while you do other things. If you know what they are, please send me a little message because I can’t imagine what it is. So consider this the before the first review review, a true sneak peak, a listen and learn a little experience…

Sleater-Kinney Share A New Song, 'Surface Envy’

By Alyson Camus | December 4, 2014

This is a great come back as the fury contained in this second song, ‘Surface Envy’, truly demonstrates it. The descending crescendo of the guitar starting the song with the pounding drums combined with Tucker’s famous yell are a total thrill, it’s an empowering full-force ride that culminates into some serious damage

rock nyc Top 10 Songs w-o 10/20/14

By Iman Lababedi | October 24, 2014

Sleater-Kinney is growing on me with every spin, it is exactly what you think, angular, atonal, guitar shards and it works like a memory reflexive. Meanwhile Taylor Swift’s least song off the upcoming album ain’t bad at all, I mean not at all, and the Game reminds us why he is the best rapper this side of Cam’ron.

10 Songs: Monday, October 20th, 2014

By Iman Lababedi | October 20, 2014

Off their final (or is that last?) album The Woods, this acoustic pop song makes you wonder why they weren’t more popular with the album reaching # 80 on the Billboard 200, their best placing ever. So, of course, they broke up. This is a really quite wonderful singalong acoustic folk good feel – A
