Group performs on July 17 at the Agora Theatre
Kathleen Hanna, JD Samson, and Johanna Fateman, the members in the artsy indie act Le Tigre, originally knew each from the New York feminist art scene that existed in the late ’90s. While Hanna, who led the Riot Grrrl act Bikini Girl in the early ’90s, had some serious musical experience, Samson and Fateman did not. They came at things from a different perspective.
“I think the first Le Tigre record came out of Kathleen [Hanna] spending some time making music by herself and making these demos that were electronic-focused and made with drum machines and coming to Johanna [Fateman] and [former member] Sadie [Benning] and asking them to flesh them out,” says Samson. “It turned into a whole new project. There was this instinct to go towards music that was extreme DIY. You could learn how to use the gear yourself and make it in your bedroom.
“We got asked to play a show in L.A. in 2020 just prior to the election,” says Samson. “It was postponed and then postponed again. The relevance was interesting. It just kept getting more relevant. It would have been nice for us to create this energy around the election and voting. But we also needed that now, so it was fine that it happened as late as it did. We remembered how great it felt to be on stage with each other and we started booking another tour.
