Wow! I just was turned on to Portlandia yesterday and I've watched everything youtube has on them. AND I just found out who Carrie Brownstein is. She is THE Carrie Brownstein, lead guitarist of the great Grunge / punk band Sleater-Kinney, one of my favorite all time indie bands. My brother and I even did a cover of their song "Words and Guitar," when we were playing together. Plus Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live was the drummer for Trenchmouth, the punk band. Who knew? So cool I think.
Carrie Brownstein of Portlandia is THE Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney!

That's also Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney, and Mary Timony (from Helium) too!
I love Portlandia.

God Leo, is there anything you are NOT an expert in? I mean, I didn't exactly expect YOU to post on a thread about indie bands from the 1990s. You must have attended college in the 90s or early 2000s to even have heard of Sleater-Kinney. As I remember I think you are studying Biblical Anthropology or something? anyway, glad to hear you are a fan of Indie bands. Let me throw some other bands at you:
Holiday
Holiday Flyer
Of Montreal
Magnetic Fields
Magick Heads
The Poppoets (crossing my fingers)
Letters From The Void (double crossing my fingers)
Mogwai
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Tullycraft
Le Tigre
Lisa Marr Experience
Tsunami
9353
Olivia Tremmor Control
Neutral Milk Hotel
Apples In Stereo
Cub

Oh, and it remoinds me, Yo La Tengo just played at the Fingerprints near my home last week, bt I missed it. I saw them at a festival once
