	Le Tigre @ CoS
		Le Tigre has lost no momentum with their second full-length release Feminist Sweepstakes and so on its heels they are now taking it to the next level.
		Feminist Sweepstakes, the new album by the New York based band LE TIGRE.
		LE TIGRE's second full-length release delivers the rollerskate jams, sampler-punk and political dance trax you've come to expect from the trio, and ups the ante for electro-conceptual, feminist pop music everywhere.

	Ink 19 :: Le Tigre
		Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fatemen, and JD Samson know this, and have crafted Feminist Sweepstakes, a 13-track album of feminist dancecore ferocity.
		Sweepstakes plays well from beginning to end; super-fuzzy guitars, perky synthesizer lines, and chunky drum-machined beats pepper the tracks with buoyant energy and unite them into a solid collection that's equal parts danceable and thought-provoking.
		Feminism is not a lost cause, and these topics still need to be addressed and written about until we make true progress.

	Le Tigre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminist Sweepstakes (2002) came out on Chicks on Speed's record label.
		Le Tigre is a feminist electro post-punk band formed in 1998 by Kathleen Hanna.
		Coming from a highly politicized and independent music scene, Le Tigre's move to a major label, and their recent licencing of one of their songs for a Telus advert, is seen by some as controversial.

	Amazon.com: Music: This Island
		The concept of "electronic feminist punk" is as revolutionary as the ideas Hanna, Fateman, and Samson are expressing, and, I have to admit, that sound is better achieved on this album than on any of their previous, as close as Feminist Sweepstakes, self-titled, and From the Desk of Mr.
		As such, it will not sound the same as their previous albums, but this one reflects their desire to reach a larger audience.
		i think the first mistake people are making when listening to this album is they are comparing this island to le tigre's debut self titled.

	Andy Steiner - Breastfeeding Adventures - The Original Riot Grrrl
		Her latest band, Le Tigre (she’s also recently recorded under the name Julie Ruin, among others), has been called "a brilliantly innovative melange of lo-fi indie pop and New Wavy machine music." Have a listen to these lyrics from the 2001 recording Feminist Sweepstakes:
		I still remember the shiver of excitement that ran through my veins when I realized that here was a woman who was getting sweaty, yelling, and jumping around in combat boots, and who, on top of all that, was singing bold, feminist-inspired lyrics.
		Reading this, Hanna probably would be feeling bad about now, but she should know that some truly excellent things also have her fingerprints all over them.

		The song "Hot Topic" on Le Tigre's self-titled debut pays tribute to dozens of visual artists, musicians, writers, feminists and others who have inspired them.
		Among the honorees are: Yoko Ono, Aretha Franklin, Vaginal Creme Davis, Yayoi Kusama, Sleater-Kinney, Billy Tipton, James Baldwin, and Jean Genet.

		An early entry in the feminist sweepstakes, she is currently the Avalon Foundation Professor of the Humanities at Princeton, a past president of the Modern Language Association, a founder of “gynocriticism” (or the study of women writers)—in other words, guilty until proven innocent.
		Epstein’s drawing-room prose may get its chuckles and its sputters of righteous indignation, but every once in a while, it behooves a writer to get out of the drawing room and onto the Internets.

	Metroactive Music Le Tigre
		Most reviewers have found Feminist Sweepstakes less compelling than Le Tigre's previous work--and it's true.
		LE TIGRE, IN ITS own words, is "the band with the roller-skate jams"--that is, if your roller-skating rink is located just to the left of Angela Davis' house.
		The influence seems to have beefed up Le Tigre's electronic component, but where Chicks on Speed are wry style personified (they started out as an art project, not a band), the new Le Tigre goes for less humor and more politics.

		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.
		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.

	Kathleen Hanna: Le Tigre Get Their Point Across
		As a holding action, the EP did the job, but certainly anticipation was still high for this October's Feminist Sweepstakes, a greater nod to Hanna's outspokenness.
		What saves Le Tigre most of the time here are the two qualities that enlivened their first disc: eclectic arrangements and Hanna's unique slant on common themes.
		The hot topics on this outing aren't quite as original as Le Tigre's – "your job sucks" and "good art goes unappreciated" are not that revolutionary of concepts – but Hanna stills wraps her lyrical interests in the everyday.

	Advocate, The: Le Tigre purrs and roars: with an accessible and energetic major-label debut, the feminist trio seems poised for—gasp!—mainstream success
		The remix-worthy antiwar samplefest "New Kicks" will remind fans of "Dyke March 2001" from Feminist Sweepstakes, while the trip-hopper "Sixteen" showcases the band--and Hanna, vocally--in a sexy new downbeat light.
		The queer highlight of the disc epitomizes their effort to straddle both worlds: the butch-lesbian identity narrative "Viz" (short for "visibility"), which couples bolish out dyke Samson's musings about her "pees" and "'stache" with a candy-coated confection of slick processed vocals, synths, and drum beats.
		While Le Tigre is probably not going to be the next circuit party or Top 40 sensation, This Island does reach a hand out beyond the band's underground comfort zone.

	Le Tigre: Remix: Pitchfork Review
		Come on, Remix is just about as standard as remix albums can get-- four songs from Feminist Sweepstakes, one off the From the Desk of Mr.
		For years, the phrase 'remix album' has been only slightly less off-putting than 'tribute album,' though at least there are people like Herbert (not Paula Abdul) who occasionally nail the concept of a remix well enough to obscure its fundamental pointlessness.
		Of course, being a remix record and all, that seems to be the aim here-- even though the original songs are some of the most direct tunes in Le Tigre's catalog.

	Armchair DJ: Music Review: Garbage: Beautifulgarbage and Le Tigre: Feminist Sweepstakes
		Produced by the band and Chris Stamey, the new "Feminist Sweepstakes" focuses more than ever on drum machines and loops, though the punk guitars and squalling vocals of Hanna's Bikini Kill days are still in full effect, too.
		Sample-happy feminists Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman and JD Samson have made dance beats and "post-binary gender chores" staples of their sound since 1999's self-titled debut album (which featured since-departed video artist Sadie Benning in Samson's place).
		Strangely enough, "Cherry Lips" is the sort of song you might expect to hear on a Le Tigre album.
