Hometown hotties Sleater-Kinney made a surprise appearance on last night’s L Word, singing their harrowing “Jumpers.” Some may have cringed at the indie band’s appearance on the commercial Showtime shock show, but I was glad to see them again taking part in something connected to the queer community. And there was plenty of focus on the more gender ambiguous, unmarried Carrie Brownstein who writhed and hopped around in her usual spastic yet sexy way. The lip close up was particularly enticing.
One can only hope all this promotion may give a boost to the summer’s upcoming Northwest queer musicfest Homo-a-gogo.
