Damn. I was just thinking of how there seems to be a shortage of good bands lately. The tix to their upcoming shows will sell-out fast now. Just checked and the NYC tix are still available as of now. Here's the email announcement:
Esteemed friends and supporters of
Sleater-Kinney:
I bring this information to you with
a bit of heavy heart as all of us here at Sub Pop are exceptionally proud to
have worked with Sleater-Kinney over the last couple of years. We were/are fans
first and conspirators/supporters second, and we remain tremendously grateful
for the opportunity to work with such inspired, motivated, enthused, fun, decent
and thoughtful people.
They also managed to make one of the
best rock records Sub Pop’s ever released.
The statement below is directly from
the band. Yes, it’s brief, and no they won’t be doing any interviews.
After eleven
years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite hiatus. The
upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now, there are no plans for future
tours or recordings.
We feel lucky to
have had the support of many wonderful people over the years. We want to thank
everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us,
and inspired us.
But mostly we
want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans. You have been a part of our
story from the beginning. We could not have made our music without your
enthusiasm, passion, and loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey
worthwhile.
With love and
thanks,
Sleater-Kinney
The dates below will be your last
chance to see the band. Avail yourself of the
opportunity.
