REVIEW - Sleater Kinney at The Masonic

Sorry to disappoint all the Riot Grrls there last night, but this was just plain too loud. I know I sound like an old feller clutching his hearing aid in anguish, but I assure you I like it as loud as the next (old) man.

This was simply a case of giving a handful of tender, young ladies the keys to a nuclear firing range.

I've seen Sleater Kinney twice before, both times at the Great American Music Hall - a venue with a sound system that only goes up to 10. The Masonic has a full on turbo nutter system, and --- I should stop going on about it now, because SK were exactly what it said on the box. Loud. Direct.
