Sleater-Kinney's Brownstein Stars In Web Sit-Com

Posted over 4 years ago
Carrie Brownstein, former Sleater-Kinney guitarist and vocalist is currently working on a web based sitcom named ThunderAnt along with Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen. The duo are creating a series of videos they plan to unleash upon the world. The first installment, "This Is Nice" is currently available by "CLICKING HERE":CHOn June 27, 2006, Sleater-Kinney announced an indefinite hiatus, stating there were "no plans for future tours or recordings." The band's last appearance was at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon on August 12, 2006. No explanation for the hiatus was given, but it is widely believed to be because Tucker wanted to concentrate on raising her child.Armisen passed along the following, which he duly noted "Carrie approves/helped write":
For as long as Carrie and I have been friends we've talked about collaborating on some video projects. We found time in 2005 to film two shorts in Portland: "Boink!" and a piece about Portland bicycle activists that has yet to be released. We had such a great time working together that we wanted to write and shoot more. We had these ideas that didn't necessarily have punch lines or jokes, but they made us laugh, so we got our friends to help us put them together. There are more being written and edited right now and we'll eventually have a site for all the videos.
