There is a legion of Sleater-Kinney fans who were big fans of the Olympia, WA, riot grrrl trio long before founding member Carrie Brownstein turned her attention to acting and starred with SNL alum Fred Armisen in the offbeat television sketch comedy show “Portlandia.” (Sleater-Kinney was in the middle of a six-year hiatus at the time.)
It's an idyllic pursuit for artists to create something that's truly singular. Most eventually put their own spin, to whatever extent, upon the work of a few leading figures in their respective scenes. That's why it's so refreshing when an act like SPOTLIGHTS emerges. It only makes sense, then, that.
