	Le Tigre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Le Tigre is a feminist electro post-punk band formed in 1998 by Kathleen Hanna.
		Le Tigre licensed two of their songs for use in advertisements by Canadian telephone provider Telus and Australian jewellery chain Goldmark.
		As of the second half of 2006, Le Tigre are on hiatus.

	Metroactive Music \| Le Tigre
		Le Tigre's last release was a remix album that unapologetically prepped several of their songs for the dance floor.
		Though Le Tigre's sound has previously been defined more by their rock guitar and punk energy than the New Wave-era drum machine and synth beats they have consistently mixed into their songs, it seems people were already shaking it to their music anyway.
		Le Tigre, who play Sunday, June 15, at the Rio, threw themselves into the project, but a remix can be a far trickier process than it seems, as anyone who's sat through a maxi-single of 10 horrific mixes of the same song can tell you.

	LE TIGRE - Feminist Sweepstakes
		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.
		J.D. Samson, an integral part of LE TIGRE's live performances and accompanying slide-show from the beginning, formally joined the band for the recording of their second release "From the Desk of Mr.

	Le Tigre: This Island - PopMatters Music Review
		With this repertoire of dance-floor seductions, Le Tigre may finally break into the hearts and minds of mass culture mavens, bringing closet queers into the spotlight and feminist politics to mass media.
		Divorcing Le Tigre's music from their politics would be antithetical to the very liberationist concept for which the band has made themselves the poster child, but music reviews being what they are, I will try to tuck my politics away for a bit and focus on form over content.
		Keenly rejecting both the sweet innocent female singer songwriter stereotype and the trope of the bad-girl misanthrope, the women of Le Tigre exhibit a chameleon-like ability to morph their voices from a feminine whisper to a snarling wail, exploiting every vocal nuance in between.

	Burning bright - Music - Le tigre ArtForum - Find Articles
		Le Tigre toured North America and Europe for six months last year, which was the culmination of a creative spurt for the trio, who have released three records since 2001.
		Le Tigre's expansive use of performance, feminist, and lesbian markers is crystallized on stage with "Hot Topic," a song/slide show honoring the band's inspirations that is conceptually akin to a hip-hop shout-out.
		In the Tigre context, these urgent, celebratory moments are very much matters of art, love, and collective power, and they are amplified in a concert setting that exalts dancing and values immediacy.

		The Social was absolutely packed despite the remodeling and construction going on inside (stripping away the last vestiges of what used to be The Sapphire Supper Club); my photographer and I had to squish all the way to the right side of the tiny stage.
		Le Tigre -- Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and new member JD Samson -- took to the stage wearing bathrobes; after a brief tuning of the lone guitar, they disrobed to reveal the matching cheerleader-esque outfits they had on underneath.
		Despite being ill, Kathleen and the rest of Le Tigre danced with perky abandon, all three members doing time behind the microphones and keyboards/synthesizers, with Johanna and Kathleen trading stints on the guitar.

	Metroactive Music \| Le Tigre
		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.
		Quickly becoming a thrift-store soundtrack staple, Le Tigre got talked about in the press for its most accessible track, "What's Yr Take on Cassavetes," in which the difficulty of interpreting art, especially art that seems superficially misogynistic--a Ph.D.-worthy topic--is presented in a clever and hilarious three-minute rant.
		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.

		While Le Tigre were recording their second full-length album in North Carolina this summer, the feminist sample-punk trio picked up a guy at a local guitar store, brought him to the studio and recorded him rocking out for a while.
		Le Tigre formed when Hanna recruited Fateman and filmmaker Sadie Benning for her touring band to support her 1998 solo album released under the name Julie Ruin.
		Le Tigre had planned to hit the road in the fall but postponed the outing to accommodate other plans, including setting up their official Web site, making videos to display on tour and pursuing their individual projects.

		Le Tigre are Kathleen Hanna (from bikini killl and julie ruin- possibly the coolest person ever), Johanna Fateman and J D Samson.
		It's true that the songs are more produced and there are less obscenities- both pointers that this is Le Tigres first major label realese, but they havn't sacrificed any of their political or musical integrity.
		Its amazing, songs like Viz make me feel so happy for the members of Le Tigre, and in return all the songs make you feel happy or exited or angry or sad in good ways.This is the future, and its the best thing I've heard in a really long time...

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Le Tigre
		If you've ignored previous Le Tigre releases, the most important note to heed is that this is not Bikini Kill.
		Le Tigre is an amalgamation of feminism, punk and the general evolution of music into the new millennium.
		Likewise, for those in search of raw tracks that speak their piece with a distinctive sound, Le Tigre will also be a good match.

		But where, in Bikini Kill, Hanna dealt primarily in screechy punk-rock, Le Tigre mine a seam that tethers distorted vocals and treble-heavy guitars to the clatter of beatboxes and electronic loops.
		Le Tigre fourre désormais ses déclarations politiques (avertissement en intro de l'héroïque Kathleen "For the ladies and the fags / Yeah, we're the band with the rollerskate jams") d'un mélange goûteux à base de guitares bruyantes et de boîtes à rythmes disco.

		Seriously, you half suspect that Le Tigre added that profane diss of Giuliani to the lyrics of "Metrocard" because otherwise the City would try to buy the rights to the darn thing and use it in their radio promotions.
		Le Tigre can be a very cool act, but its output is not nearly as good as Bikini Kill's, Kathleen Hannah's previous band.
		Appearently, the riot girl and her band mates were trying to do a weird electronic record, with intentional use of bad synths and dated early 80's sound effects that are reminiscent of those funny songs you like even if you know they aren't good at all.

	PETA2 // Out There // Le Tigre Knows the Way to a Bunny's Heart
		Everyone who’s anyone knows who Le Tigre is. And, if we’re right about that assumption—which we’d be willing to place money on—then everyone also knows that Le Tigre provides us with anything but run-of-the-mill radio fare.
		Formed by Bikini Kill founder Kathleen Hanna, Le Tigre is celebrated for playfully layering its overtly political lyrics and punk undertones amidst a fusion of festive samples, eclectic pop, and lo-fi electronics.
		We ran into Le Tigre’s Johanna Fateman at a show and not only discovered that she’s vegetarian but that she has a deep fondness for rabbits.

		Le Tigre's self-titled debut is a wonder of postmodern, lo-fi indie rock.
		Ex-Bikini Kill Riot Grrrl Kathleen Hanna has toned down the tuneless rage of her former band, and with the assistance of her artsy friends Johanna Fateman and Sadie Benning, has created an album of tuneful rage.
		Casting a critical eye over the contemporary urban scene they inhabit, Le Tigre is packed with acerbic wit and referential wordplay shouted against a backdrop of guitars, sythesizers, beats, samples and, apparently, anything else to hand in the studios and bedrooms where it was recorded.

	Fast 'n' Bulbous Reviews: Le Tigre (Mr. Lady, 1999)
		Le Tigre fleshes out the best ideas from that and runs with it like a cat out of Hell.
		No longer hindered by issues of punk "authenticity," Hanna recruited the fresh talents of compatriots with backgrounds outside of rock 'n' roll -- Sadie Benning is an indie filmmaker and Johanna Fateman a zine publisher -- and let her tastes run free.
		Le Tigre will have you popping to new wave keyboards and girl-group harmonies, grooving to electronic boogaloos and shaking your moneymaker to on-the-one Motown beats.

		While Le Tigre's first two albums were loaded with reference material for young feminists to check out, This Island is mostly devoid of content.
		Le Tigre sound more confident than ever here, and they're definitely one of the better, smarter bands of the electro genre.

		JD came on tour with the band as the slide technician/roadie, but it was immediately apparent that she should have a more active role in the performances.
		We were already talking about having her dance and sing back-ups with us on stage when Sadie decided she didn't want to be in Le Tigre anymore.
		Since a month long US tour was already booked and Jo had quit her job to do it, we asked JD if she would become a full-fledged member of Le Tigre.

	Le Tigre Earns Back Its Stripes
		Mar 27, 2003/ FWD/ -- It may sound like yet another comeback story: Le Tigre, the striped sport shirt label started in the late '70s to give Lacoste's crocodile a little rumble in the jungle, is re-launching for fall 2003.
		But unlike all the other brands brought back from decades past - labels heavy on kitsch but light on direction -- Le Tigre intends to become a strong force in the world of sportswear.
		They have, however, altered the name logo, reducing the size of the "Le" and placing it over the "i" in lieu of a dot.

		Le Tigre's politically charged "electronic feminist punk" returned in a big way a few weeks ago when the band released its third full-length album, "This Island," marking the ladies' major-label debut and launching a full-on attack against President George W. Bush.
		But the album isn't all Bush-bashing and feminist rants; Le Tigre shows its playful side by including an upbeat, poppy cover of the Pointer Sisters' 1982 hit, "I'm So Excited."
		Metromix spoke with drummer/guitarist/vocalist JD Samson from her hotel room in Philadelphia, the morning after Gloria Steinem introduced the band at its show.
