Brownstein first gained attention as a member of the band Excuse 17 before forming the rock trio Sleater-Kinney with Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss. Sleater-Kinney released seven critically acclaimed albums between 1995 and 2005, and critics Greil Marcus and Robert Christgau deemed the band one of the essential rock groups of the early 2000s. In 2015, Stereogum Chief Editor Tom Breihan called them the greatest rock band of the past two decades. In 2006, the band announced an indefinite hiatus. During that break, Brownstein formed Wild Flag with guitarist Mary Timony and wrote and appeared in comedy sketches with Fred Armisen that became the satirical TV series Portlandia (2011-2018), which won Emmy and Peabody Awards. Sleater-Kinney reunited, and as of 2026 she was still touring with the band.
