@KRSsven I was just thinking about how their voices were so good together. Carrie's voice gives your ears a break since it's lower and more mellow. Have you listened to much of their stuff? She can sing very well.
@Poopingbotham I think that is the point right, sleater kinney is a road in lacey. The antithesis of Olympia; or it was. We need to reign in the city council or we are doomed to strip malls and irrelevance.
There's no bass because the guitars are all tuned down to harmonise with Corin's vocal range, and also to provide a low enough growl so there's no real need. When S-K got their arrangement right they proved it isn't against the law to have no bass. My only problem with them was when Carrie tried to sing, because she really can't. Clearly nobody ever had the nerve to tell her.
The Hot Rock--their best album.
Yep I agree
Carrie honestly fucks me up in this video holy shit I keep screaming I am totally in love.
+Katie Sardo Every live performance I see I can't take my eyes off her. She's my hero.
+Justin Conrad Me too! Only second to my best friend.
+Katie Sardo well, I have a lot of heroes but Carrie is definitely #1.
she talks about the weather. awwwwwwwww
AMAZING FOOTAGE!
faaaantastic!!
@brianallancobb, SK never had a bass player, just super skilled girls rocking guitars.
Nice post gatherspeed, cheers.
they both sing in harmony ..
It's just Corin's rhythm guitar tuned down to play a simple bass line. Kind of like Scott Lucas from Local H.

@pathduck Yea, when I see her performing, I think it's part of a skit.

Ha! I love love carrie. But her intro was very spinal tap-esque. Heeeeeeeeeeeee..
I love this band but I find it hard to take Carrie seriously after watching Portlandia :D
Is that voice querulous or tremulous or something?
is that lollapalooza 2006?
i definatly hear a bass guitar.
