SK’s last at home…

Though it may be cold comfort in some ways the only good news following the sad new of the demise of Sleater-Kinney is that their last show will not be in the far-off land of the big budget Lollapalooza tour in Chicago, but here, at home. Yes, one of Portland’s most cherished bands comes home to die August 11th at the Crystal Ballroom. Tickets go on sale this Saturday but be forewarned, you can only buy 2 at a time by phone or computer, or 4 at the box office. I can’t anticipate whether this promises to be a small madhouse or complete mayhem but either way it will be a frantic rush into a sad goodbye.
