Indie rock lifers and ’90s mainstays Sleater-Kinney and Liz Phair are teaming for a short fall tour amusingly dubbed the Flannel and the Fury, beginning Sept. 6 in El Cajon, Ca.
Phair says the trek “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 Girl 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. We’ll see you there!”

“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,” say Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein of Phair’s beloved Matador debut album. “She’s a legend and a stone cold classic. What a thrill to share the stage with one of our biggest inspirations. We can’t wait to tear it up with her.”
