Bikini Kill
Bikini Kill was an American punk band that influenced greatly the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s. It was founded in October 1990 in Olympia (Washington). The band was known for her feminist texts and their intense live performances.
Even when combined with well-known artists like Nirvana occasionally ( drummer Tobi Vail was a long time in a relationship with Kurt Cobain ) and Joan Jett worked together on an artistic and political levels, refused Bikini Kill major label and the mainstream music press. After two albums and several EPs, the group broke up in 1998. The most common follow-up project of Bikini Kill was Le Tigre, in which Kathleen Hanna was active. The Russian group called Pussy Riot Bikini Kill as a model.
