Since forming as a band in the 1990s as part of the riot grrrl movement in Olympia, Washington, Sleater-Kinney has made a name for themselves through their power chord-infused rage sound which has cemented them as one of the most influential and important indie rock bands of all time.

When you hear Nigerien Tuareg singer-songwriter and guitarist, Bombino play his music, you don’t forget it. He is a self-taught guitarist who learned at a young age by watching videos of greats like Jimi Hendrix and Ali Farka Toure. Now hailed as one of the “greatest living blues guitarists” (New York Times), the blindingly fast movements of Bombino’s fingers as they play note after note of his North African desert blues compositions sound impossible. You don’t want to miss his set at Rock the Garden on June 11.
