LE TIGRE
“If the Shangri-Las were 90's punkettes with samples and drum machines, they'd be Le Tigre”- Entertainment Weekly
Featuring Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin), Johanna Fateman (the brain behind the awesome zine My need to Speak on the Subject of Jackson Pollack) & latest recruit J.D. Samson. Are they an art band? or a band of artists?... their sound touches on conceptual garage, digital anthemic, political sadness and unfinished soundtracks.
RELEASES:
 | 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. The cd of dance remixes is their vision for a hardcore dance genre infused with radical politics. Inspired by the underground club success of a number of their tracks, the band has invited NYC DJs and producers to remix songs for this release. Remixers include: REID SPEED (premier NYC two-step/speed garage/drum-n-bass DJ featured on DATCYD's Positive Climb and This Is Jungle Sky Vol. 7); THE DFA (international punk-step production team); SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS (Johanna of LE TIGRE's techno project, featured on the Tigerbeat 6 INC comp); and DJ HAM & CHEESE ON RYE (best known for the "Hot Topic" remix on LE TIGRE's Wiiija single).
