=== Hiatus (2007β2013) === Upon the dissolution of Sleater-Kinney in 2006, Weiss joined Quasi bandmate Joanna Bolme in [[Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks]]. She performed on two albums, ''[[Real Emotional Trash]]'' in 2008 and the 2011 release ''[[Mirror Traffic]]''. She left the band before the tour for the latter. In April 2010, Tucker announced she was recording a solo album for the [[Kill Rock Stars]] record label to be released in October 2010. Working with Tucker on the Corin Tucker Band's album was [[Unwound]]'s [[Sara Lund]] and Golden Bears'/[[Circus Lupus]] Seth Lorinczi. According to Tucker, the album would be a "middle-aged mom record". The album, entitled ''[[1,000 Years]]'' was released on October 5, 2010, to positive reception by music critics. Tucker toured the United States to support the ''1,000 Years'' album. The band's second album, ''[[Kill My Blues]]'', was released on September 18, 2012. A United States tour supported this album. In September 2010, Brownstein revealed her latest project was the band [[Wild Flag]], with Janet Weiss, [[Mary Timony]], formerly of [[Helium (band)|Helium]], and [[Rebecca Cole (musician)|Rebecca Cole]], formerly of [[the Minders]].<ref name="newband">{{cite web| title= Carrie Brownstein: 'I Have A New Band' | url= https://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2010/09/22/130053010/sleater-kinney-helium-and-the-minders-form-wild-flag | date= September 22, 2010 | work=[[All Songs Considered]] blog | publisher= [[National Public Radio]]| access-date=October 26, 2010}}</ref> Their self-titled [[Wild Flag (album)|eponymous debut album]] was released on September 13, 2011, on [[Merge Records]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.spin.com/reviews/wild-flag-wild-flag-merge |title=Wild Flag, ''Wild Flag'' |author=Jessica Hopper |year=2012 |publisher=[[Spin (magazine)|SPIN]] |work=Spin.com |access-date=June 24, 2012 }}</ref> By 2014, the band was no longer active.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2013/12/wild-flag-breakup-janet-weiss/|title=Indie Rock Supergroup Wild Flag Are No More|website=Spin.com|date=December 5, 2013 |access-date=October 13, 2014}}</ref><ref name="Rolling Stone">{{cite magazine|last=Vozick-Levinson|first=Simon|title=Carrie Brownstein's Life After Punk|date=March 14, 2014|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/carrie-brownsteins-life-after-punk-20140320|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140321112216/http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/carrie-brownsteins-life-after-punk-20140320|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 21, 2014|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=March 21, 2014}}</ref> In an interview, Brownstein stated, "We had a fun runβ¦ but all the logistics started seeming not quite worth it."<ref name="Rolling Stone"/> Brownstein's television project ''[[Portlandia (TV series)|Portlandia]]'' premiered on IFC in January 2011 and aired a new season every year until its series finale in March 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/portlandia-embraces-its-weirdness-one-last-time-in-a-fi-1824010727|title=Portlandia embraces its weirdness one last time in a fitting finale|last=Hugar|first=John|website=The A.V.
