DW/Los Angeles writer Han is what we call a fanatic. Don’t believe me? Check out one of his other sites he manages, The Sleater Kinney Concert Review Archive.
Regardless, SK put on two shows in Los Angeles this past week and Han was at both of them. Here’s a highlight from his review:
The best thing about both nights was getting to hear the new songs. “I Don’t Care” is bratty and the poppiest of the new batch. “Everything” is based on a heavy, grinding riff and features a harsh clipped vocal from Brownstein and some top notch wailing from Tucker. I was standing pretty close to the speaker stack and the during the bridge of “Everything” I felt like Corin’s voice was going through my eardrum and coming out the other side. “Bomp” is the down and dirtiest of the new material and and Tucker brings back the scratchy, blood-curdling screams that have been mostly forgotten since Call The Doctor.
