Le Tigre is Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Johanna, and video artist Sadie Benning. As an electronic act, the trio celebrates the radical aspirations of 90's DIY, feminist, punk art rather than playing into the "women in rock" stereotypes of feminist rage. This is their classic self-titled first album. Added are four tracks taken from a BBC "Evening Session" that Le Tigre recorded during that time. "These songs are addictive. They will be the soundtrack to kitchen dance parties in every house this album enters"--Pitchfork.

This is their second album, which now includes a video of the song "Well Well Well".
Le Tigre's 2nd full-length delivers rollerskate jams, sampler punk and political dance tracks you've come to expect from the trio. And it ups the ante for electro-conceptual, feminist pop music. Le Tigre features Kathleen Hanna (formerly of Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, The Fakes & Suture), Johanna Fateman (writer behind the zines 'Artaud-Mania!' and 'My Need To Speak on the Subject of Jackson Pollock') and new member J.D. Samson. 2001 Mr. Lady records.
With this CD, Le Tigre picks up where they left off- buzzing guitars, chaotic gang vocals, low resolution samples and programmed beats reference their punk history and point the way to a feminist future without genre loyalties. While still taking full advantage of the rough edges, Le Tigre's new songs are more structurally ambitious if not slicker. Political rage and activist disillusionment remain explicit and/or buried lyrical themes, but danceable beats and experimentation keep it weirdly unjaded. Mr. Lady Records.
