More about Bikini Kill
Bikini Kill is an American punk rock band that was formed in 1990. The group's original lineup consisted of singer and songwriter Kathleen Hanna, guitarist Billy Karren, bassist Kathi Wilcox, and drummer Tobi Vail. In 1997, the group disbanded after two full-length albums, several EPs, and two compilations. Bikini Kill reunited for tours in 2019 and 2022, with Erica Dawn Lyle on guitar in place of Karren.
The band spearheaded the Riot Grrrl movement with feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Riot grrrl is an underground feminist punk movement that began during the early 1990s in the United States in Olympia, Washington, and expanded to at least 26 other countries.
Riot Grrrl is a subcultural movement that combines feminism, punk music, and politics. The band members, who attended The Evergreen State College in Washington, wrote songs together and encouraged a female-centric environment at their shows. The all-women band urged female attendees to come to the front of the stage and handed out lyric sheets to them.
In 1993, the band released its debut album, Pussy Whipped. That same year, the band toured in London, England. They worked with Huggy Bear on a split album, Our Troubled Youth / Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah. The tour was the subject of a documentary film by Lucy Thane titled It Changed My Life: Bikini Kill in the UK.
In 1996, the band released their final album, Reject All American. After the band's breakup in 1997, they released a compilation of singles recorded between 1993 and 1995, which was released in 1998 under the name The Singles.
