Bikini Kill is an iconic punk rock band that has long been revered as revolutionary and ahead of its time in its music, politics, and activism. Formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1990 by Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox, Bikini Kill was the first all-female punk rock band to gain national attention. Their sound was heavily influenced by the riot grrrl movement which emerged as a response to the male-dominated and often sexist culture of punk scenes across the United States. The trio released their debut self-titled EP in 1992 which featured songs like “Suck My Left One” and “Resist Psychic Death”. The following year saw them release their critically acclaimed full-length Pussy Whipped album. This album marked a turning point in their career when they began touring with Nirvana nationally and internationally from 1993 to 1994. It also contained some of their most beloved songs including “Rebel Girl”, “New Radio”, “Double Dare Ya” and “In Accordance to Natural Law”.
After two additional albums were released - Reject All American (1996) and New Radio (1998) - Bikini Kill eventually disbanded due to creative differences between members. Although they had split up, their influence on the music world would continue thanks to numerous tribute bands that would go on form in their wake. In 2019 they reunited for The Future is Female Festival at Melbourne's Forum Theatre before making several appearances at Riot Fest in Chicago later that year where they performed some of their classic hits alongside new material such as “Capacity”. There is no overestimating the importance of Bikini Kill's legacy not just for women but for those who feel disaffected by society's status quo more generally. As well as being one of the most important rock bands during its time; it was also a living incubator for much-needed political change within an otherwise male-dominated scene. Still today many acts look back to Bikini Kill with admiration and awe for setting fire to what would become a revolution in alternative music culture that we still feel throughout our lives today.
