Sleater-Kinney Say Goodbye

America's greatest rock band (yeah, I said it) have called it quits. Sleater-Kinney announced the sad news today with the following statement:
"After eleven years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite hiatus.
The upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now, there are no plans for future tours or recordings. We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people over the years. We want to thank everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us, and inspired us.
But mostly we want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans. You have been a part of our story from the beginning. We could not have made our music without your enthusiasm, passion, and loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey worthwhile."
Of course, we hope that Sleater-Kinney's definition of "hiatus" is closer to Jay-Z's than, say, My Bloody Valentine's, but we wouldn't bet on it.
Here's Sleater-Kinney's final tour schedule. How depressing is it that their last show is at Lollapalooza?
So goodbye, Sleater-Kinney. Thank you for everything, from "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone" to "Modern Girl". Thank you for being an inspiration to women everywhere. No, fuck that-- to people everywhere.
You will be missed.
