along amazing aretha guess sang singer singers styles trying
Aretha Franklin, she's just the most amazing singer ever. But I think there are so many singers that I just loved and sang along to on the radio. I guess I just enjoy trying out different styles along the way.
draws guitar huge immediate influence intense line melodic melody related song
I think the B-52's were a huge influence on Sleater-Kinney. The way that there'd be a really interesting guitar line that'd be really melodic and kind of simplistic, I really related to that. The sense of melody is really intense and fun. It's not just traditional song structures, but it's very melodic and draws you in, in kind of an immediate way.
hear male music rock
I think that, by and large, the predominant voice we hear in rock music is a white male voice.
amazing
I think 'Amazing Race' is sometimes like being on tour.
driven huge inspired lack people shame speaks successful
I think there's a huge lack of political artists in America, and I think it really speaks to our consumeristic culture and how people are driven to be financially successful here. It's such a shame that we don't have people who are more inspired than that.
artist artists bring business flexible hands ideas means rock stars time work
Kill Rock Stars has a willingness to really work with the artist and to be flexible with what they're doing... part of being an independent artists means having your hands in the business all the time, so they bring in a lot of ideas about it.
breaking stand
Part of this whole Sleater-Kinney 2.0 is breaking the rules. We wanted to tell our story... we feel like we need to stand up for ourselves.
asked male music musician questions woman
There are so many times that, as a woman in the music industry, you're asked questions no male musician would ever be asked.
asking beings career fully human seeing terms validated woman women work
I do think we have a long way to go in terms of the culture around women still being career women, and asking a woman about her career and her work, just seeing them as fully validated human beings in the workplace.
teen
The eighties were my teen years, so the GoGos are sort of a touchstone.
convention heavens played pop turned
The first show I ever played was the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, Washington. It was girl night, and I was in Heavens To Betsy. I had just turned 18.
bands child daft dance great love music soul
I do love dance music. I love Daft Punk. I mean, I was a child in the '80s, so bands like the Eurythmics and just so many great '80s bands were dance bands, but they had the whole soul thing happening, too.
band cool floor heard lobster loved rock
I loved 'Rock Lobster.' I probably heard 'Rock Lobster' first at a party or dance. Then we would do the Rock Lobster - get down on the floor and do the whole dance. I thought that was really cool and exciting, that there was actually a band that had their own dance at that point.
I'm pretty straightforward as a performer, but I do have a bit of a diva in me.
