Sleater-Kinney announced the end of their band yesterday on their website.

After eleven years as a band, Sleater-Kinney have decided to go on indefinite hiatus. The upcoming summer shows will be our last. As of now, there are no plans for future tours or recordings.
 
We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people over the years. We want to thank everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us, and inspired us.
 
But mostly we want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans. You have been a part of our story from the beginning. We could not have made our music without your enthusiasm, passion, and loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey worthwhile.
 
With love and thanks,
Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney had just put out one of the best albums of 2005, The Woods, so it wasn't like they were in a career freefall. Hopefully the Rock Hall will be wise enough by 2020 to vote in one of the best American rock bands of the last 10 years.
