The pioneering riot grrrl band Sleater-Kinney released a new album in January and has spent some of the year touring behind the release. But it has yet to make its way to Cleveland. Until now. The group has just announced that it will perform at Masonic Auditorium on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Tickets are $28 to $32.50. They go on sale at noon on Friday.
