Sleater-Kinney to take "indefinite hiatus" after summer shows Massively influental rock act Sleater-Kinney have announced that they will be going on an indefinite hiatus after completing their touring obligations for the rest of the summer. The female trio posted a brief statement on their website earlier today, stating:
"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."
The band's most recent album was 2005's Sub Pop-released The Woods; their remaining shows are below:

29 | Louisville KY @ Forecastle Festival
