Sleater Kinney @ Vegoose - Oh

OK, here's another Sleater Kinney song from Vegoose. I've got 9 more of these and probably not enough Sleater Kinney anecdotes to go with them all, so I'll try to spread them out. The first time I saw this band was at the 9:30 club in DC in 2000. They were touring for All Hands on the Bad one. The first opening act was this two piece of a bassist/singer and a drummer. They were really boring so my friend and I went and had a beer downstairs. We heard that the next opening band was on stage and went back up to check them out. It was another two piece, and I was about to go back downstairs. My buddy suggested we at least give them a try, so we did. There was a girl on drums and a guy playing guitar and singing. They were both dressed in all red. The music was blues-based rock with a definite late 60's Brit-rock sound. At one point, the guitarist was playing this hollow body gibson with a slide and sounded exactly like Jimmy Page. The entire audience of jaded indie rock fans who usually ignore the opening band were standing there blown away at how good this band was, and people were rushing to the merch booth to buy their CD. In case you haven't figured it out yet, that band was the White Stripes and a year later they were everywhere. But enough about them, here's more Sleater Kinney...
