Sleater-Kinney's tour hit Chicago's Riviera Theatre w/ Joseph Keckler (pics)

Sleater-Kinney‘s tour supporting their new album The Center Won’t Hold (with drummer Angie Boylan replacing the recently-departed Janet Weiss) treks on and hit Chicago for two shows at the Riviera Theatre this past weekend: Friday (10/18) and Saturday (10/19). They played similar but not identical setlists at the two Chicago shows, with all or most of the new album each night, the even newer non-album track “Animal,” and tons of classics. We caught the Friday night show, and pictures of that one are in the gallery above. Setlists from both nights and a couple videos are below.

Shamir was supposed to open this leg of the tour, but had to drop off at the last minute, and S-K have since replaced him with super talented vocalist Joseph Keckler. He opened the Chicago shows, and he’ll also be at the NYC shows which happen at Kings Theatre on 10/30 and Hammerstein on Halloween (tickets).
