Sleater-Kinney and Liz Phair, iconic figures in feminist alt-rock, have never performed together until now. They will co-headline 'The Flannel and the Fury' Tour, a concept Phair has long envisioned. Both artists reflect on the scarcity of female representation in the indie-rock scene during the '90s. Brownstein notes that the mindset of promoters limited opportunities for female-fronted bands. The tour symbolizes a reconnection and aims to inspire future generations of musicians to embrace collaboration over competition.
""We were post-punk, and I had a whole lot of yearning to be around more women doing what I was doing," Phair says of their shared connection."
""There was that scarcity mindset in the '90s, where it wasn't coming from within but a sense from promoters," Brownstein recalls."
""Of all the places to bring hierarchy into, music seems like the last place it should be," Phair puts it."
