originally conceived as the live backing band for her julie ruin
solo project, bikini kill founder and quintessential riot grrrl
kathleen hanna formed le tigre, another bold, feminist-oriented
trio, with filmmaker sadie benning and zine creator johanna
fateman in 1998. borrowing a page from hanna's julie ruin output,
le tigre mixed punk's directness and politics with playful
samples, eclectic pop, and lo-fi electronics. the group also added
multimedia and performance art elements to their live shows, which
often featured support from like-minded acts such as the need. le
tigre arrived in late 1999 on mr. lady, followed by the from the
desk of mr. lady ep in 2001. benning left the group to pursue her
filmmaking career before the recording of le tigre's second album,
feminist sweepstakes, and was replaced by j.d. samson. feminist
sweepstakes, which featured a more sophisticated sound and more
overtly political lyrics, arrived later in 2001. remixes followed
in summer 2002. the band made a surprising leap to the majors for
2004's this island, which was distributed through universal
performed live on 26th june 2005 at the donauinselfest in
vienna/austria.
