1. Which of these bands/singers has NOT opened for Sleater-Kinney?

The White StripesRobyn HitchcockThe DecemberistsYeah Yeah Yeahs
I don't know who Robyn Hitchcock is, so Robyn Hitchcock probably did. The YYYs are too big and great to not have supported them according to this list, and The White Stripes would've been a huge clunking elephant. The Decemberists are crap, though, right? I chose 'em.
