Sleater-Kinney Tickets

This was my first time seeing Sleater-Kinney after having missed their last tour, and I am so happy I got to experience it. They played a number of newer songs, but also performed a number of old songs, which made it a fantasticl closing show. I could've stayed for another 20 songs, but all good things must come to an end.

First time seeing SK at the Paramount, was a fantastic show. Band was tight and inspired, very energetic performance. Missed seeing them from last tour which was a smaller venue so I’m unsure if they typically feature the current album so heavily as they did here or they are that welded to the new direction and stubbornly played everything from it. I can’t recall any established band feature so many deep tracks from current album, audience didn’t seem to object. I certainly didn’t as it sounded great. SK didn’t leave the catalog they have out of the set either, long evening, first of two Seattle shows. Tickets were inexpensive comparative to other acts, more in line with a club gig for sure and how freaking punk rock is that?! Lol I even donated to arts when prompted because I appreciated the ethos of not gouging your fans when that is the norm. I will not miss these ladies when they play here again— highly, highly recommended.

These ladies rocked my face off. Absolutely amazing performance. So much energy and nostalgia. 10/10 recommend catching them live. The paramount is always a great place for shows

Carrie Brownstein & Corin Tucker are better than ever. Missed Janet Weiss though:(

My husband and I were quite excited to attend this performance. We arrived at 7:50 p.m. for what we had thought was an 8:00 p.m. performance. We were not surprised that there was an opening act however it would have been wise to indicate that on the tickets or the website at the time we purchased the tickets. We were very disappointed however that the opening act went a bit longer than normal for an opening act and we felt disrespected by Sleater Kinney when it took almost 45 minutes for them to get ready to perform. We have attended many concerts over the years of many higher profile entertainers (including the Rolling Stones) and have never been subjected to such a long wait. We considered it disrespectful.

We had to leave at the begining of the show because my friends legs didnt fit in the space between her seat and the one in front of her. Her knees extended over the seat back of the chair in front of her.

Ok, I'm biassed because I can't hate on any band from the Nw. But this was my first time seeing Sleater-Kinney and they're legit. Impressed by their vocal range and what seems like endless musical talent. How did it take this long to see them?

I have seen Sleater-Kinney about 5 times since the late nineties, and probably won't return unless their next album is amazing. I was located in the first balcony. The sound was awful. Much of the show had lights flashing out into the audience. Most of the balcony had their eyes covered since it was so uncomfortable. Granted I felt a bit disconnected being a bit far from the stage. The new drummer held her own, but I missed Janet's presence and heavy sound.

Maybe it's time to (a) get a better PA system at the Paramount, or (b) stop booking rock bands there. Sleater-Kinney's 11/23 show was marred by sound that mostly negated the contributions of supporting players Katie Harkin and Toko Yasuda, combining their guitar and keyboard parts into a muddy midrange blur with Corin's guitar. Most of the time, the only instruments that cut through the mix were the lead guitar and drums. I've seen S-K at similar-sized theaters elsewhere (Knitting Factory in Spokane; Masonic in SF), and the sound was crisp and distinct there, while the last performer I saw at the Paramount, Neko Case (hardly a loud rock act) late last year, also suffered from muddy sound. A premium venue like the Paramount needs to do better. As for S-K, the 11/23 show was a strong but not transcendent performance. New drummer Angie Boylan was superb in the thankless role of replacing Janet Weiss, while Corin and especially Carrie looked happy and performed with passion. The material off the "controversial" new album came off strongly (except, oddly, for "Hurry on Home," which feels a bit flat live) and blended with the older songs well. The songs from "The Woods," even without Weiss, were highlights of the set, especially "The Fox." But still, a certain sense of urgency was missing--maybe because unlike the 2015 tour, this show didn't feel like the possible last go-round for a great, mercurial band. Minus Janet, Sleater-Kinney now seems to be an ongoing project that can reconfigure at any time and in any form. And there's nothing wrong with that--anything Carrie and Corin do together is going to be a must-hear. But just a bit of the magic was missing on this night, with or without the Paramount's disappointing sound.

Great energy. Great songs. Great band. Can’t wait to see them again

Sad to hear about the loss of drummer Janet Weiss but a great show nonetheless. I would like to point out that they performed 2-3 times longer than RCHP and are only a few years younger. Their energy and athleticism are as admirable as their musical talent!

They were fire! Just outrageously good start to finish. The interaction between Carrie and Corin onstage was infectiously fun to watch. Whole band sounded amazing. I thought some of the songs from the new album sounded better live than recorded. (Not to dis their most recent album, which I had on repeat for two weeks after it dropped!) The live versions just were more inviting.

This was a bucket list item for me to see the world's best female punk band. I was really impressed and entertained. Great playing (particularly from Carrie), great energy. I'm an old fart and have gone to literally 100's of shows and this was a top 5%er. Really glad I went

They rocked my world. Class act. To sum it all up for that evening - RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE. WOW!

Overall an excellent show! Wanted to see them since the 90s and it was everything I ever wanted. They played 27 songs including encore. I was weary about Janet not being with them anymore but Angie was great! Carrie is a BEAST onstage. Amazing show!

A few friends paid extra for VIP. I had done the same for another show and regretted it. You can go upstairs but you can't sit and watch the show. It's so far back behind even fancier VIP ticket holders that you can barely see the stage. The sound is also bad up there. I would look into these VIP tix because the GA tix get a better view and it sounds better from the floor.

Great set. Spans their entire career and lots of energy.

Sleater-Kinney rocked out the place. The band was great, although the volume was louder than it needed to be. Carrie Brownstein was obviously having a lot of fun and brought much energy with her movement, playing, and banter.

Even though it was a change of venue, it was still an awesome show. The Heights Theater is a more intimate setting for this show.

Fantastic venue with stunning views of the city. Nice staff, clean facility. As for the Sleater-Kinney performance itself. Simply amazing, One of the best live bands ever. Perfect!
