Anger, as the ever disgruntled Mr Lydon always tells us, is an energy, and they were very, very energetic…ha-ha!

And always more effective live than on record, I thought.

Nice review of a gig on the same tour I might have caught in Manchester, Penny?

Anger and energy - needed more than ever, even if the energy bit is harder when you're old. And yes, they were at their best on stage.

Corin Tucker and I had a band while Sleater-Kinney was on hiatus. We covered “It’s Obvious”; it’s such a thrilling song….

My god I loved this band, saw them a dozen times, they taught me how to dance, punk-funk!
