Discography

Le Tigre

1999

Kathleen Hanna's electronic feminist punk project brought riot grrrl politics into dance-punk in 1999. Songs like "Hot Topic" and "Deceptacon" proved the movement's ideas could mutate beyond guitars and live drums. As Hanna told Surface: the visual work "fetishizes machinery like a feminist Kraftwerk while building bridges between DIY punk and conceptual art traditions." Riot grrrl for the digital age.
