Kathleen Hanna in Bikini Kill
Hey there, here’s a quick refresher about why it’s important to remember that your politics are worth fighting for, archiving and talking about: a recent interview with Kathleen Hanna over on GritTV on the eve of her “papers” (zines, correspondence, etc) being donated to NYU. Kathleen Hanna was a member of the band Bikini Kill and later of Le Tigre, among other projects as well as an active member in the founding of riot girl. Did y’all know that Erin and Amber were involved with the late 90s revival of Riot Grrl in Montreal? True story. Maybe we’ll post pictures sometime.
Also, check out the newly forming Bikini Kill archive which is collecting reflections and stories about the band!
While you’re feeling good and inspired, do head on over to Shameless Magazine and suggest a Canadian lady for their Shameless Women series...We hear that they’re looking for suggestions! Both Amber and Erin have been featured on this rad blog!
One more thing: have a listen to CHUO radio’s Do You Hear What I Hear radio show from December 2009. The show features a discussion about Nightwood and they plays three songs from our latest record Carta Marina. Also included in the episode are our buds The Balconies!
