    After watching: Of course they still completely kick ass. So, so happy. I'm sad I no longer have my whole rebel life ahead of me as when I first heard Bikini Kill, but somehow this is the most hopeful thing I have seen in ages. They still fucking kick ass. They are still the rebels they were. Maybe I am too. God, I needed this. Thank you, Late Show. So surreal hearing Colbert say "Bikini Kill", and so utterly awesome.

    I remember it was about the mid 90s I heard them in a radio show. At the end they announced an adress so I wrote to klll Rock Stars label explaining that here in Mexico City I couldn´t find any record from them, and guess what...Tobi answered my letter and sent me a catalogue to mail order as well as a CD, Reject All American. I couldn´t believe it. Obviously I went to their concert here in Mexico City last March.

    Thanks for this post! Not sure if a political move, BUT our local CBS affiliate decided to show the lovely city of Dayton Ohio: only commercials, during Bikini Kill's brilliant performance...
