SUMMARY:Bikini Kill\, Alice Bag
LOCATION:The Warfield\, 982 Market St\, San Francisco\, CA 94102
DESCRIPTION:Bikini Kill is a feminist punk band that was based in Olympia\,
  WA and Washington\, DC\, forming in 1990 and breaking up in 1997. Kathlee
 n Hanna sang\, Tobi Vail played drums\, Billy Karren (a.k.a. Billy Boredom
 ) played guitar and Kathi Wilcox played bass. Sometimes they switched inst
 ruments. Bikini Kill is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement 
 in the early 90's via their political lyrics\, zines and confrontational l
 ive show. The band started touring in June 1991. In addition to touring th
 e US several times\, they also toured Europe\, Australia and Japan. Bikini
  Kill recorded and released a demo tape\, two EP's\, two LP's and three si
 ngles. Their demo tape was self-released\,while their first two records ca
 me out as a full length CD/Tape and their singles were posthumously collec
 ted on CD. Bikini Kill believed that if all girls started bands the world 
 would change. They actively encouraged women and girls to start bands as a
  means of cultural resistance. Bikini Kill was inspired by seeing Babes in
  Toyland play live and attempted to incite female participation and build 
 feminist community via the punk scene. They used touring as a way to creat
 e an underground network between girls who played music\, put on shows and
  made fanzines. This independent media making and informal network created
  a forum for multiple female voices to be heard. Bikini Kill reunited in t
 he Spring of 2019 with original members Kathleen\, Kathi\, and Tobi who we
 re joined live by Erica Dawn Lyle. They sold out multiple shows in Los Ang
 eles\, NYC\, and London as well as headlining Riot Fest in Chicago.\n\nhtt
