Sounds great. Please, someone, keep them away from Danger Mouse.

Oh snap. I watched their penultimate show from the side of the stage here and my feeling then was, man, this band has so much more to offer. Belated, but I'll take the return.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 October 2014 13:28 (nine years ago) link
Seriously. . . does the world need ONE MORE S-K album?

If the other nine songs are as good as Bury Your Friends, then the answer is yes.

Who said it's just going to be one more album? The fact that they bothered to record another album when they could have just reunited and toured indicates the creative juices are flowing. I dunno if we'll get another tour/record/tour cycle, but I bet/hope they keep releasing new stuff, in some form.

I heard whispers about this several months ago but the tru feelings of ecstatic joy didn't hit me til today
― fgti, Monday, 20 October 2014 14:04 (nine years ago) link
No Cleveland date, of course, since nobody ever comes here anymore, so I'll do either Pittsburgh or Chicago. (Or DC, maybe, since I still have a lot of friends down there I'd like to see.)
― bippity bup at the hotel california (Phil D.), Monday, 20 October 2014 14:05 (nine years ago) link
Terminal 5 sucks but I would still go see SK even if they were playing at the bottom of the East River.
― voodoo chili, Monday, 20 October 2014 14:14 (nine years ago) link
kinda refreshing to see a reunited band book a bunch of the same-sized venues they were playing before instead of going straight for the festival payday

xp the London venue is approx 3x the size of venues they were playing before fwiw

ah maybe the European venues they're hitting are bigger. but like, the 9:30 Club, they were selling out multiple nights at that place for ages, they could easily play bigger rooms in D.C.
― some dude, Monday, 20 October 2014 14:34 (nine years ago) link
@Sleater_KinneyNot to worry, additional tour dates will be announced soon! #sleaterkinney
― dow, Monday, 20 October 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
There's only so much touring they can do without interrupting Portlandia's shooting schedule, right?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 20 October 2014 15:25 (nine years ago) link
Maybe the entire season will take place on the bus?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 20 October 2014 16:47 (nine years ago) link
As someone who lives near Spokane I find it sort of awesome and hilarious that their first show back will be there. I can't believe that there won't be some Portland or Seattle shows prior to that.

JF OTMFM. Listening to this now, and it easily would've made my poll ballot. That opening riff is just so fantastic; I can't think of anything else in their catalog that swings like that.

New song is great! And so instantly sounds like S-K rather than Wild Flag or the Corin Tucker Band or their other things.

My wife ordered the box set, UPS just delivered it, personally sent by the singer from Mudhoney:

I'm not saying I care (I don't), but the success of that show has surely levied certain expectations on Carrie's time.

I just opened my copy of Start Together. It's beautiful. The nicest box set I've purchased.

Spokane show apparently has sold out 3 minutes in, I didn't get page to load until 4. I'm wondering if everyone in Portland and Seattle were trying to get tickets? Venue starts selling them on Friday so who knows.
