Marking their first full shows since 1997, Legendary feminist punk band\u00a0Bikini Kill regrouped in 2019 for 10 thrilling performances in select cities across the US, London, and a headlining Riot Fest appearance. Ecstatic fans sold these shows out quickly and prior to being postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the band had announced a more expansive, international tour in 2020. Now, the band has announced\u00a0these international tour dates rescheduled for 2022, plus thirteen additional shows spanning North America and EU\/UK. New dates added include\u00a0Los Angeles,\u00a0NYC, Atlanta,\u00a0Austin,\u00a0Glasgow,\u00a0never before played southwest cities, and more. Tickets for previously announced dates and\u00a0new dates are on sale now.\u00a0Fans can purchase tickets here<\/a>.\u00a0Previous ticket holders can contact their local venues for policies regarding refunds.\u00a0

The run includes a valiant return to Olympia, WA and a benefit concert for\u00a0Interfaith Works Nightly Shelter<\/a>, a local non-profit acting as the only shelter\/homeless services program that explicitly prioritizes women and LGBT single adults in the Olympia community. These shows see the band performing with their iconic line-up of\u00a0Kathleen Hanna\u00a0on vocals,\u00a0Tobi Vail\u00a0on drums, and\u00a0Kathi Wilcox\u00a0on bass — along with guitarist\u00a0Erica DawnLyle. The reunion has sparked critical discussion on the band\u2019s legacy and influence on culture and music today with\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>,\u00a0NYLON<\/a>,\u00a0and The New York Times<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0

More about Bikini Kill<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Active from 1990 to 1998, Bikini Kill is a feminist punk band that started in Olympia, WA, and later moved to Washington, DC. Billy Karren joined Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox and Tobi Vail on guitar after the band had played several shows as a three-piece. Credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early \u201990s via their political lyrics, zines and confrontational live shows, Bikini Kill encouraged women and girls to start bands as a means of cultural resistance. They used touring as a way to create an underground network between girls who played music, put on shows and made fanzines. This informal network created a forum for multiple female voices to be heard.

Bikini Kill started touring in June 1991, serving up their radical feminist punk rage to crowds across the US several times, as well as making their way through Europe, Australia and Japan. The band recorded and released a demo tape, two EPs, two LPs and three singles which are available via their independent label Bikini Kill Records. The band has just\u00a0re-issued\u00a0\u2018Pussy Whipped\u2019\u00a0and\u00a0\u2018Reject All American,\u2019 available now<\/a> on vinyl & CD for the first time since they went out of print seven years ago. They also uploaded their entire catalog on streaming services last Fall. Now available for streaming on\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Tidal<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>, the catalog includes landmark releases from 1991\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Revolution Girl Style Now\u2019\u00a0to 1998\u2019s\u00a0\u2018The Singles,\u2019 which features production, guitar and vocals from\u00a0Joan Jett.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
