The part where they speak about history and how it wasn't that fun playing shows most of the time... Well to that I say: THANK YOU KATHLEEN. Thank you and thank you to all the other women who stood along side you and shouted the same message. Thank you for taking the shit and not backing down. Thank you for standing up for me and my rights. Without you girls, it probably would still "be weird to have a girl in the band." I love you
I feel so sorry for this mindset that surrounds the youth.People think you need to be beautiful forever, thin forever, young forever, cool forever.Fuck it.Kathleen is 44 and she's still beautiful.That's what a real regular 44-year-old woman should look like.She's great and she's much younger than most of the twenty-something bastards I know.She's been a feminist icon since the 90's and her values didn't get old.If u want a perfect body and fake attitudes,just fuck off and go buy a vogue magazine
We shouldn't really talk about Riot Grrls anymore, we should talk about Riot Women. Bikini Kill don't need Will Smith as a "protector" slapping body shamers. The entire band is liable to step off the stage and slap you body shaming idiots silly themselves! And look out for the fans too!
I am way stoked on this!! SO thankful that I grew up being able to appreciate passionate things like this. To each their own, but I feel a little sorry for kids that didn't get to grow up feeling like they were a part of something bigger than themselves. Not sure how I feel about my teenage years being considered retro, but if it means that it will breath new life into the music I love, then I have no qualms! Kathleen looks fucking fantastic. Like real woman and not some airbrushed plastic doll.
I loved this song on the solo record, never associated its feelings with a meaning until the last half of Kathleen Hannah’s book referencing this song giving it a new life. Happy to see it live.
kathleen is such an inspiration, i feel very happy to see her doing music again! and it's also good to see kathi wilcox being the same cool kathi as in the 90s! ahah i sound like i lived it but i am born in 1994 :)
Hey simpleburn! Not sure who appointed you the expert in musicianship, but you are so enshrouded in your ideals about what music should be, that you can't enjoy the energy that is Kathleen Hanna. She has changed my life and inspired me in ways you will never understand. And that's too bad, because it appears you could use a little inspiration to knock you off your high horse. Sucks to be you, buddy.
Simpleburn, looks like your reply got deleted. But I did get the chance to read it in my email. Just wanna say you did a commendable job at proving my point that you make up for having no life by putting other people down. Now, you might like to look up the word "sarcasm" in the dictionary. In case you don't know what that is, it's a book. You do know what a book is, right?
and just so you know Kathleen has lost that extra weight now and is as beautiful as ever. I always found it a bit confusing however cause I thought the point of feminism was to develop a mutual respect between men and women but constructing a gender specific "club" seems to me to create a gap between sexes?? establishing womens rights is an important thing but creating an idea of gender superiority can only have a negative outcome..
It's not an idea of gender superiority. Rather, it's about intentionally focusing on women in a culture where focus on men is the default except when dealing with women as objects, and not just accepting being mistreated by men because "boys will be boys".
The lead singer reminds me of a mom at karaoke night who got way to drunk and danced on the table embarrassing her kids singing songs she made up on the spot rather than reading the words on the karaoke machine..eww
Just stop using the words Feminist and Feminism and every one will just accept you for who you are. Its like black people still calling each other the N word. Time to Evolve. Love you kathleen.
meeting Kathleen or seeing her live would be the best moment of my life
I met her and mumbled some words and I wish I was cool, but I was awstruck!
i met her in argentina after a bikini kill show and she was so nice and gave me a hug. it was amazing

what a legend, music is in her even through pain and disease she was able to work on The Julie Ruin.. and Hit Reset is coming soon \o/
I loved this song on the solo record, never associated its feelings with a meaning until the last half of Kathleen Hannah’s book referencing this song giving it a new life. Happy to see it live.
the fact that anything about kathleen's appearance was even brought up under this super positive video is unfortunate
apt #5, its the one special song for me. i so got emotional right now.
she looks like Cate Blanchett. With dark hair and not so skinny. Especially when she smiles.
That's what I love the most, Kathleen's smile ♥️
who cares if she gained weight?? shes 44 its life. shes still hot as fuck, and is still kicking ass. lets see where you guys are in your mid 40s
Enjoy interview. Worthy words spoken. Nice to hear and see them live.
I am so excited that she's back, I hope they do a UK tour :)
kathleen is such an inspiration, i feel very happy to see her doing music again! and it's also good to see kathi wilcox being the same cool kathi as in the 90s! ahah i sound like i lived it but i am born in 1994 :)
Kathleen you're the best ! i'm almost crying of joy, i love this song
I waited so long for this girl to come back
I had a huge crush on Kathi, she was the cutest thing with that pouty face that you never saw smile.. she's adorable.
Listen to Ms. Hanna's msg to Mr. Watt on the "Ball Hog or Tugboat" record just before J.Mascius version of Maggot Brain. TruthTruthTruth!!!
Just got tickets in Detroit, I really hope she plays apt #5. Love that song so much!
Come to SF PLEASE!
love love love... little (happy?) tears at 4:22... xo
This is beautiful, and Kathleen, I am happy you are alright again!
Te adoro Kathleen Hanna
And Kathi Wilcox! She's so amazing!
Kathi was my first crush growing up
Can't wait to see them in Portland @ TBA:13!
this is art... not "american idol" or that kind of shit.
Great song! I'll definitely check them out with La Sera. I've never thought Kathleen Hanna was like Kristen Schaal until now, though.
she's back !!!!! :) my life has meaning now :)
The UK needs you!!
Kathleen is rock chick legend... she will be in museums in 2000 yesrs still as a main exhibit haha
I take off my hat. ~ ladies , congratulations on the new vinyl pressing
Anyway, she has been very sick. People should show some respect. Why is a woman supposed to be at her best all the time? We are humans!
Just ordered the record, am so excited to see Kathleen making music again! She is fucking SONIC BOOM!
I love you Kathleen, I wish... so much. you rock!
Bad news, simpleburn - Yoko Ono is a badass too.
people get real bold behind a keyboard.
What live video is "Girls Like Us" taken from? I can't find it anywhere!
without the heavy distorted bass it sounds like fucking joy division!
I really think apt. #5 is the best song KH wrote. I feel that pain. EDIT: WELL that and TKO. :D

The lead singer sounds like Roseanne
Her vocal coach is Roseanne Barr.
I'm sure she really cares about your opinion. Especially of her appearance.
i 💘 love Kathleen so much .. She has the most Rad voice. Such a #Goddess ..
They are great artists but I think they aren't trying their best
#5 sounds like her and Ad-Rock split. Hope that's not the case.
Apt #5 was written in 1998 for her first solo record, 'Julie Ruin'. She and As-Rock were just starting dating that time. (:
Oof i love julie ruin/ kathleen but 'Girls Like Us' live sounds kinda... bad
Kathleen 4evr.
Should I be the asshole that mentions that Kathleen gained a lot of weight?!
Kathleen's still hot!!!
Bands ok but the singer ahhhhhhh
and just so you know Kathleen has lost that extra weight now and is as beautiful as ever.

Enabling women's spaces, and doing things for women is hardly "creating an idea of gender superiority."
Aww, you get really upset when someone calls you on your shit. It's kinda cute.
a shit voice is worth a thousand perfect ones if you can write good songs...
You dont get it.. go watch american idol or something....
And I'm sure you could do sooo much better, right? Get over it.
GAWDAMM THIS IS HORRIBLE MUSIC
The lead singer reminds me of a mom at karaoke night who got way to drunk and danced on the table embarrassing her kids singing songs she made up on the spot rather than reading the words on the karaoke machine..eww

Embarrassingly bad.
Alex Herrera you're embarrassingly bad
It's been 9 years. You fix your ears yet? Everything Kathleen touches rules
