Kathleen Hanna’s return to music is well on its way with the
release of her new band’s, The Julie Ruin, first video for “Oh Come On.” It’s
been 9 long years since Le Tigre released an album (17 for Bikini Kill, but who’s
counting) which was caused by Hanna’s struggle with Lyme disease. For The Julie
Ruin, Hanna reunites with Bikini Kill bassist Kathi Wilcox, which sets the tone
for the album. That’s not to say you should expect the in your face edge of “Rebel
Girl.” The Julie Ruin perfectly combine both Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. In other
words, they sound like Bikini Kill reimagined as a party band. Hanna is
extremely expressive with her vocals and is having a blast with her comeback. Run Fast is quickly rocketing to the top
of my must buy records in an already stacked September.
Check out The Julie Ruin’s website here. Run Fast is due out on September 3 on
the band’s own TJR Records label, with distribution by Dischord. They have some tour dates coming up, so check them out after the video.
