Saturday: It's true, Sleater-Kinney was one of rock's most influential yet unfamous bands of the late-'90s and early-'00s, not just within the sorely missed riot-grrrl movement but really throughout the post-grunge indie-rock scene. Now the Olympia, Wash.-reared trio can also be called one of today's most exciting rock bands. That's an easy statement to make after the release of their nerve-racking new Sub Pop album, "No Cities to Love," which follows a decade-long hiatus that found co-leader Carrie Brownstein ironically gaining fame as the TV star of "Portlandia." It's time to remind folks what she does best. Lizzo opens. (9 p.m. Sat., First Avenue, sold out.)
