Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox on why they’re bringing their pioneering riot-grrrl act back for the era of Donald Trump
One thing that’s changed since Bikini Kill’s first run is the wholehearted way the world has embraced them this time. “We are getting so much more positivity and love than ever before,” Hanna says, “and we’re not having to spend all of our energy being upset that a fanzine we like just wrote a whole article about my ass.”
In the age of #MeToo, the reclamation of femininity separate from male desire seems all the more relevant — and Bikini Kill’s catalog seems to have a song for every feeling. “I can hardly get through ‘Feels Blind’ without starting to cry. I really have to focus,” says Wilcox, 50, referring to the song off the band’s 1991 debut EP, on which Hanna proclaims, “I’m the woman I was taught to always be: hungry.
The fact that this is an election year is not lost on Bikini Kill’s members, who say that’s one reason they’re playing a more extensive reunion tour this spring and summer instead of one-off concerts. “People are so upset, women in particular, and there’s still all this anger right now,” Wilcox says. “Everybody can come together in a room and have that moment.
