Sleater-Kinney, Backstage @ the Capitol Theater, Olympia, WA, Early 1997
It took me forever, but I'm proud to offer this old-ass footage of a really, really good local band before it broke big. Recorded Backstage at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA in early 1997, immediately following the release of Dig Me Out. I'm somewhere in the front right of the audience. This was filmed by my dorm-neighbor (last name Crick, I think?) and aired on public access teevee, from which I made a VHS copy almost 20 years ago. Finally, I can check "getting my awesome and pretty much never before seen footage of Sleater-Kinney on youtube" off my bucket list... ENJOY!
