- Event Details
- Wild Flag is a Portland, Oregon- and Washington, DC-based quartet consisting of Carrie Brownstein, Rebecca Cole, Mary Timony, and Janet Weiss. The members of Wild Flag have played in numerous and notable bands including Sleater-Kinney, Helium, Quasi, The Minders, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and others. The four musicians who make up Wild Flag have known one another for well over a decade. Wild Flag wanted to figure out dynamics, hear how the songs breathed in a live context, build cohesion and unity, and emerge as a singular force prior to putting those sounds onto tape. Wild Flag always intended to grow organically, never wanting to take for granted that an audience existed based on previous endeavors. So, instead of recording an album and then playing shows, they went on various tours, playing tiny club shows in the US and building up a fervent audience of their own. In April of 2011, they went to Sacramento, California, where they recorded their self-titled album with engineer Chris Woodhouse at the Hangar. Now they are touring the U.S. this spring!

With vocals from lead singer Amber Papini, their softer acoustic side draws on artists like Kimya Dawson and Devendra Banhart while retaining an all-encompassing, all-original sound. more at chicagoinnerview.com

The Onion A.V. Club on SOLD OUT! Wild Flag, Hospitality @ Metro
about 1 month agoSoon after Sub Pop’s release of The Woods in 2005, Portland-based riot grrrls Sleater-Kinney announced an indefinite hiatus. Fans of the politically charged power trio haven’t been the same since, but they can now be at least two-thirds less despondent with the arrival of Wild Flag. more at avclub.com
