Two of the most influential voices to come out of the 1990s indie rock underground are hitting the road together this September. Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney have announced “The Flannel and the Fury,” a co-headline U.S. tour running September 6 through 21, with tickets on sale to the general public May 1.
This pairing carries real weight. Both artists built their reputations in the early Riot Grrrl scene, and both carved out catalogs that have only grown in stature over the decades. Sharing a stage for the first time, they bring together two distinct but complementary legacies, and the result is one of the more genuinely exciting tour announcements of the year.
Phair put it directly: “The Flannel and The Fury is a nod to 1990s alt-rock culture and the female-fronted bands who staked their claim to center stage in a male-dominated music industry. Sleater-Kinney and I both cut our teeth in the early Riot Grrrl scene. It’s been a dream of mine ever since to bring our music and our fans together for one night of reckless hope and musical splendor.”
Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker were equally direct in their enthusiasm: “For those of us who listened to ‘Exile in Guyville’ on repeat in 1993, Liz Phair has always been a leader and a truth-sayer for the female experience. She’s a legend and a stone cold classic; what a thrill to share the stage with one of our biggest inspirations.”
The 10-date co-headline run touches both coasts and major markets in between, from California’s Greek Theatre to Chicago’s Salt Shed Outdoors to MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston. Liz Phair also plays four additional solo dates in St. Paul, Portland (Maine), Albany, and at the Oceans Calling Festival in Maryland. Tickets go on sale May 1 at lizphairmusic.com and sleater-kinney.com.
