I have just dug up this band and I think I am in musical love.
This song made me think of you, and your tales of Portland.
Woah....that one has quite a set of pipes! Damn, Pixie, I'll have to check out more from them.

yes, they are now defunct but they have a side-project called Wild Flag, which I will be listening to at some point.
:lulz: Classic Sleater-Kinney! The dark-haired singer is the chick from Portlandia.
I knew one of their drummers, but now I have no idea how or why. Probably through my ex.
Fucking Sleater Kinney.
Fucking Carrie Brownstein.
Fucking Portlandia.

Well I have never seen Portlandia and don't intend to, but I'm having somewhat a Riot Grrl fixation of late. Corin Tucker has a voice I like.
Corin Tucker did have a pretty sweet set of pipes. Why she let Carrie do even one iota of the singing is beyond me.
(OK, actually it's not, I just think it's a shit reason to let a crappy singer sing in your band)
And to be fair, Carrie's not a terrible guitar player.
But I think we can all agree, holy FUCK Janet Weiss is terrible on drums. Pretty sure Michael J. Fox would be an improvement.

Doesn't seem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7nh_rLLAlM) so bad. The drums I mean. The drums.
That was unconditionally awful, even accounting for the notoriously (and I suspect intentionally) bad sound at the Doug Fir.

GET DOWN ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES and thank BABY JEBUS that you have even THAT level of music. We here in the Holy City™ have to choose between Norteno music and Kenny Loggins tribute bands.
Oh, and Styx comes through the casinos. Without Dennis DeYoung.
No more whining. Seriously. Fuckers.
I'd take a week of Norteno over an hour of Sleater Kinney every time.
Hell, I LIKE Norteno music. And narcocorridos. And that weird mexican rap that comes out of TJ (even though I suspect it is really Mexico's answer to hipster whiteboy rap like Mad Rad).
You just don't appreciate all the good things you have in Tucson, sir.

It's the combination of steel guitars, accordions, and altitude. It makes me all fucking crazy, and then whattaya know? ANOTHER shirt I'll never get clean. Hahahahaaaaaaaaa

I finally clicked it and got about a third of the way through it. And yeah, Michael J. Fox would be an improvement.
Stephen Hawking would be an even BETTER improvement.

You're being x
2 − y
2 = 1, right?
edit: if you're talking about the drumming. Seems like she has good rhythm and can keep it up. All the other sound, of course, is a different story.

ECH is right. This is WAY worse than Tucson. How do You People live with that sort of shit?

It's the video quality where every cymbal crash sounds like a banshee screech.

Do you mean the weird Mexican rap where they're rapping over a kumbio groove and you catch just enough of the spanish to know it's dirty as fuck and there's drugs involved? Those rule!

No, that's how Janet Weiss ALWAYS sounds.

To be fair, Sleater-Kinney predated the modern hipster infestation by a decade. Doesn't make the drumming any less sucky though.
Also, if you ever want to get one of their fans all bent out of shape, insist on pronouncing it "SLEE-ter Kinney" and continue to do so even after you've been corrected (it's supposed to be "SLAY-ter Kinney", like the road in Lacey, WA the band is named after).

Another, earlier 90's riot grrrrl band.
When it comes to Riot Grrrl bands, it's pretty much Bikini Kill or GTFO.
