Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour
Feminism. Sexism. Homophobia.
Vulnerability. Confidence. Independence.
Politics. Power.
Sometimes you just need to lighten up.
Documenting Le Tigre’s final world tour in 2004, Who Took the Bomp? Le Tigre on Tour is an inspiring film that's packed with feel-good energy. The feminist electroclash trio—comprised of Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman and JD Samson—confront and embrace all of the above topics and issues, but with a refreshingly calm wisdom and strength.
Armed with humour, quirky costumes and shameless dance moves, Le Tigre are strong and independent, but not angry. Dealing with sexism, homophobia and beyond in the music industry, they take a dignified approach, remaining most impassioned through their art. In fact, the most heated the band gets is when frontwoman Kathleen Hanna takes her vein-popping vocals to the stage.
Offstage, the members of Le Tigre are calm, cool and collected. As old souls in youthful getups, they remain humble yet firm in their beliefs.
