Le Tigre on Tour
Le Tigre released their first album, Le Tigre, in 1999. Their EP From the Desk of Mr. Lady, released in 2001, was followed-up by the album Feminist Sweepstakes. In 2004, the trio released their most recent studio album, This Island.
Le Tigre went on hiatus in August 2007. In 2022, the trio reunited to play their first show in over a decade as part of the inaugural This Ain't No Picnic festival in Pasadena, California. The festival set the stage for a much-anticipated reunion tour. Le Tigre are known for feminist advocacy and politically-charged lyrics.
The trio recently gained legions of new fans on TikTok, with the songs "Deceptacon" and "Phanta" going viral in a series of fanmade videos. In an interview with Spin, co-founder Johanna Fateman mentioned the TikTok phenomenon, "I find the videos on TikTok. I'm just endlessly fascinated by how creative people are, and I love how they use our music. 'Decepticon' is like an indie classic or whatever, and I just love seeing how it reverberates for people in different times in different parts of the world, and how they use it to construct their identity online."
Le Tigre Live in Concert
Le Tigre consists of members Kathleen Hanna, JD Samson and Johanna Fateman. Hanna and Fateman have collaborated since they were teenagers. Hanna (who inspired the title of Nirvana's first hit by writing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on Kurt Cobain's bedroom wall) was the singer of riot grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill until their breakup in 1997. She left the West Coast and moved to NYC to form Le Tigre with Fateman and Sadie Benning. Benning left after a year to pursue a filmmaking career, and Samson joined them onstage.
In the years since the formation of Le Tigre, and subsequent hiatus, JD Samson has been an assistant arts professor at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Johanna Fateman has flourished as an art critic, Kathleen Hanna has worked in the nonprofit sector, restarted Bikini Kill and continues with longtime project The Julie Ruin.
Reflecting on her time in the band, Fateman told Spin in 2022, "We were really unafraid. And that will be one of my lifelong lessons from this band: Just do it, you know? Not in the Nike way [Laughs]."
Great show, sound and lighting was perfect, the stage was beautiful, Had a great time ! The opening band was such a vibe and fun too dicover. I would go back to the olympia to see other shows for sure and if the cumgirls8 or Le tigre are coming back to montreal id book tickets of course !
The show was awesome but the drinks were REALLY expensive and they were juste plain drinks. I tought that was unfortunate but I had a good time anyways .:))
Great venue and show experience. I am a hard rock meatball and seeing Le Tigre live was a bucket-lister for my wife and I. Their cleaver and punchy messaging is very timely; hearing the crap comments the band still puts up with is an embarrassment to real men everywhere. Really hope this wasn't the last opportunity to take in their show. Thank you Le Tigre!!
Great show! Great projections. Great venue! Shitty beer for $12 is criminal! Was more excited to see Bikini Kill in April but it turned out to be way less energetic, too much talking between songs, Kathleen Hanna having a fit about masks from the time she stepped on stage was so 2020-2021. Seemed more relaxed and into it. Too bad about the Bikini Kill show.
WoW! So I got there just in time for Le Tigre but there already was a huge lineup outside! So I missed 2-3 songs. But when I got in, the energy and atmosphere were incredible! The girls were on fire and the room was electric! đ„ They played several of their hits as well as songs I didnât know (Iâm not so familiar with the latest albums). The singer đ©âđ€ explained her feelings, views and lyrics in a heartfelt manner and the crowd cheered and cheered. There was so much ambiance and LOVE â€ïž in the ultra-packed Olympia! Fantastic show! But it ended too soon... they played for a little over an hour but it passed so quickly! SO glad I went! đ âĄïž đ€
Le Tigre were incredible! They played all their hits as we all sang along! The Olympia Theatre is traditional and fantastic! Indeed, the place is clean, including the washrooms, the acoustics, the house PA, the staff.., all first class!
Meilleure show ever!!! LâarrivĂ©e du groupe câest fait dĂ©sirer, mais ça valait vraiment le coup dâattendre! CâĂ©tait le show le plus gĂ©nial de ma vie!!
Amazing show!!! So fun to see Le Tigre live. Definitely recommend checking out their tour.
The show is good, but it is more a protest + art than music, being honest.
Amazing as expected! So many politically important statement a still uplifting as can be: wisdom power & talent combined! So great to see gender diversity presented in the new normal! Loved this show!!!
