Sleater-Kinney was an American indie rock band that existed from 1994 to 2006. Formed in Olympia, Washington, the group's name is derived from Sleater-Kinney Road, Interstate 5 off ramp #108 in Lacey, Washington, the location of one of their early practice spaces. They formed in and were a vital part of the punk and riot grrrl scenes in Olympia, although they later relocated to Portland, Oregon.   Wikipedia
