Bikini Kill

We got any Bikini Kill fans here on SG?
i put this on just now for the first time in ages, dammit if these tunes haven't aged at all!

...apparently not

Bunch of threads and love for the band...here is but one of many threads about them:
Bikini Kill

I prefer to discuss my riot girrrl love after a few cups of good morning America...

What did you put on? They were like my fave band in high school. But I say that the Huggy Bear split def changed for me in time, I found some it really awful upon a recent listen over 10 years later. Not the test of time for that one. Haven't heard Pussy Whipped or the first in forever, all of the singles (including the Peel Sessions) are definitely still gorgeous and I always thought Reject was the best. Shame that they imploded at their peak. I wish KRS would do a handy discography.

They were definitely an important band. I believe I miss the Frumpies as well.

Hey now, I was working through their career and giving the most detailed reply possible.

Goddammit, i used the search function!

i hate it when that happens

i agree Reject All American is their 'opus' but it was the 'singles' comp. i put on - rebel girl, i like fucking, strawberry julius, i hate danger... all my faves.

P.S. Let us not forget they delivered one of the best lines of the 90's: "I'll win that Motley Crue mirror if it fucking kills me!"

Hey fuck it...plenty of love to go around
I was just listening to this the other day:
fond youth....

The Singles is indeed essential or something. This Is New Radio was absolutely fantastic and I recall at the time being like "How the FUCK did they get Joan Jett!?" and the I Like Fucking, although a total tease towards the opus is wonderful. I always loved Tobi's vocals oh-so.

It's just class, from start to finish. Pisses all over so much of today's 'punk/indie' scenesters, grumble, grumble, rant, grrr, etc, etc. (But true)

I am not sure how much exposure the UK had over these ladies:

but, along with Bikini Kill probably the only other band that just owned...in terms of the whole riot girrrrl thing...if you have never heard them seek this lp out...

i will keep my eyes open! Ta!

Bikini Kill and Team Dresch are both impossibly good.

I really, really liked approximately half of their first record.

Now I'm going to have Carnaval stuck in my head all night. Thanks a lot!

Rebel Girl is one of the greatest songs ever. Have you heard Kid606's remix/treatment of it?

Team Dresch (and Excuse 17) were my favorite Riot Grrl bands ever

thats almost the exact opposite of what i think bikini kill is. i think kathleen hannah would agree



i never really dug the whole riot girl thing, myself. kathleen hannah annoys me in almost every way, but BK had some rad songs

Excuse 17 was freaking great...this thread is trasnsporting me back to the college days...I think I might dig out that first heavens to betsy record and complete the nostalgia..
