"Fun, friskyand wildly entertaining are just a few adjectives that describe this luminous documentary that follows one of the most illustrious queer punk bands: Le Tigre! When the pulsating chords hit your ears, your legs start bouncing uncontrollably. Don’t worry; you are experiencing the vibrant, queer, politically-charged, electro-pop sounds created by a powerful punk trio Le Tigre. Like a rocket blasting off—symbolically and literally, Le Tigre: On Tour grabs a hold of you and doesn’t let you go. This riotous documentary follows the feisty musicians from New York City who make up this explosive band—Kathleen Hanna (formerly of Bikini Kill), JD Samson and Johanna Fateman—from their inception to their oscillating rise to stardom. Their candid interviews delve into how they navigated the rocky waters during the height of the underground feminist punk movement. Their empowering female and queer lyrics and political activism led to them being ostracized by other riot grrrl groups and the media. What makes this electrifying documentary so worthwhile is the often-times uproarious behind-the-scenes footage filmed during the height of their career while on their final concert tour for the album This Island.. Whether you are a fan or new to their music, Le Tigre: On Tour truly captures the heart and soul of three talented artists who transcended a musical movement in an inspirational yet amusing way!" Quoting Kelly Burkhardt from the 2010 Philadelphia Qfest site. LESS
