Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon, she was a young girl in the Pacific Northwest, witnessing the rise of a pivotal rock movement. In her quest for home and identity, she transitioned from spectator to creator, discovering the transformative power of live performances. With Sleater-Kinney, Brownstein and her bandmates gained prominence in the underground feminist punk-rock scene of the 1990s, earning acclaim as "America's best rock band" from music critic Greil Marcus for their defiant and exuberant sound that challenged gender norms in rock. This narrative offers an intimate glimpse into her escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music became her means of self-invention and community. Brownstein reflects on the excitement and contradictions of the era's independent music subculture, experiences that later inspired the observational satire of the television series Portlandia. With her deft, lucid prose, she showcases her prowess both on the page and the stage. Accessibly raw and heartfelt, this book captures the journey of a young woman, a born performer, and an outsider, ultimately finding her true calling through hard work, courage, and the intoxicating power of rock and roll.
