Errata

index magazine interview

Last year Kathleen formed Le Tigre with two good friends, the filmmaker Sadie Benning and zine editor Johanna Fateman. Their eponymous first album takes the electro promise of Kathleen's solo work to delirious new levels, mixing bubblegum, punk, and very danceable beats with a more subversive approach lyrically. The album's calling card, "Hot Topic," for example, is an inspired roll call of radicals and artists over a killer Motown vamp. But it's also a syllabus of sorts, getting listeners to check out the likes of Gayatri Spivak, Valie Export, Billy Tipton, and Ann Peebles.
