Alt-rock legends Sleater-Kinney and Liz Phair just announced a national co-headlining tour this September. Lucky us, McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale made the list. <\/p>\n
The two bands will take the stage Friday, Sept. 11, for \u201cThe Flannel and the Fury\u201d tour (ha). Presale begins Wednesday, April 29, at 10 am with the general sale<\/a> opening Friday, May 1, at 10 am. <\/p>\n Phair is best known for her 1993 debut, Exile in Guyville, a ferocious landmark album famously structured as a song-by-song response to the Rolling Stones\u2019 1972 release Exile on Main St.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 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,\u201d Phair wrote in the event announcement. \u201cSleater-Kinney and I both cut our teeth in the early Riot Girl scene. It\u2019s been a dream of mine ever since to bring our music and our fans together for one night of reckless hope and musical splendor.\u201d<\/p>\n Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker formed Sleater-Kinney in Olympia, Wash., and released their debut, self-titled album in 1995. The band has been at it ever since (albeit with some lineup changes, notably the departure of longtime drummer Janet Weiss in 2019<\/a>), with 11 studio albums and prominent side projects, including the TV show Portlandia, co-created by Brownstein. <\/p>\n \u201cFor those of us who listened to \u2018Exile in Guyville\u2019 on repeat in 1993, Liz Phair has always been a leader and a truth-sayer for the female experience,\u201d Brownstein and Tucker wrote. \u201cShe\u2019s a legend and a stone cold classic; what a thrill to share the stage with one of our biggest inspirations\u2014we can\u2019t wait to tear it up with her.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2026 season of Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn starts May 27 with the Black Keys. <\/p>\n
