Formed in Olympia in 1994 and named for a local arterial, Sleater-Kinney was a &quot;riot grrrl&quot; band known for its powerful, strident vocals.The band did not release any records with Sub Pop until its final album in 2005, &quot;The Woods,&quot; which was described by critics as a departure from their signature sound, featuring a denser, more classic rock-inspired style.Though the group disbanded in 2006, two of its members, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss, went on to form Wild Flag. Brownstein today is best known as the co-star of the IFC sketch comedy TV show, &quot;Portlandia.&quot; Photo: Bob Berg, Getty / Bob Berg 2005
