they're awesome!
saw them a few years back when they rocked a small club up here...insanely loud and the place was packed with militant lesbians.
one of the girls was in bikini kill before, there's a band you should check out if you're into drunken screechy yelling.

le tigre is so much fun...saw them with the gossip and lezzies on x...all the punky dykes stormed the stage at the end to sing along with le tigre. Its great going to a show that has punk energy but that is filled with women. Also JD Samson is the koolest, the lesbian answer to Doug E. Fresh. Plus Kathleen Hanna is so great still and the shows are super political. The show totally lifted my post-US election fog. And there visuals are the cheesiest.
You may find yourself pogoing despite yourself...

I love Le Tigre too! They're super awesome. I love their songs 'Fake French' and 'Deceptacon'. It took me a while to get used to the lead singers voice but it's all good.

- Jaline0

if you really want to hear some le tigre, look through unfittoprint's contributions to old FMTs.
He must've posted their entire catalog by now. Most of those links still work.

Le Tigre, Le Tige (self titled) is my favorite album. I had been a fan of Bikini Kill in the 90's and followed Kathleen when she did her Julie Ruin thing. When they statred Le Tigre, adding the simple synths and drum loops overlayed with searing guitar riffs they found a permanent place in my collection.
