Anyone seeing The Julie Ruin on Friday? Anyone a fan of her and her bands?
I never got to see Bikini Kill live but saw Le Tigre a few times and The Julie Ruin last year. Always great fun live. It’s great to have her back. One of the most underrated artists of recent times. If you haven’t heard of her or any of her bands do check them out. The Punk Singer, a music documentary on her is one of the best music documentaries in years too. Definitely worth watching. I see that recent setlist have included Rebel Girl. I’m hoping for that on Friday night.
Pussy Whipped and Reject All American are both absolute classics! Only just started listening to the Julie Ruin albums over the last couple of months but I’ve been enjoying them immensely. Glad I managed to get tickets for Friday’s show.
That opening footage of her spoken word performance in The Punk Singer is jaw dropping! A total inspiration.
I actually think Hit Reset is the best thing she has ever done, which I know is a bold claim but I’m still making it, ha! Although I’ll probably change my mind the next time I listen to Feminist Sweepstakes.
Please come to London Please come to London Please come to London Please come to London Please come to London Please come to London Please come to London
Steer those sexist guys towards The Punk Singer DVD…and then tell them not to listen to any Kathleen Hanna ever. (Call them a few names too.) How can anyone like Kathleen Hanna and be sexist?
I recall being on a forum where a right-winger went on about his love of The Clash and when he was called out about how Joe Strummer’s lyrics were very much opposed to his viewpoint he just claimed he liked the music and didn’t have to agree with the lyrics or something. People are good at compartmentalising.
I saw that first at The BFI Flare Festival a few years ago. Didn’t even realise that some members of The Raincoats were in the audience and subsequently did a Q&A for a short shown (before or after the main feature).
I’m a dull man in his 40s. I was just so enthused by the film and then The Raincoats went on stage. Fucking brilliant. That evening was just so so good.
That doesn’t even make sense, she has one sentence where she mentions their song Girls and then she says she got to know Adam Horovitz, realised he was a good person who had acknowledged his error with early songs like that and she fell in love with him. Your housemate was clearly weird.
