[Welcome to Riot Grrrl Online]
Bikini Kill + Riot Grrrl
one huge misconception for instance that has been repeated over and over
again in magazines we have never spoken to and also by those who believe
these sources without checking things out themselves is that bikini kill is
the definitive 'riot girl band' . . . We are not in any way "leaders of" or
authorities on the 'Riot Girl' movement. In fact, as individuals, we have
each had different experiences with, feelings on, opinions of and varying
degrees of involvement with 'Riot Girl' and tho we totally respect those who
still feel that the label is important and meaningful to them, we have never
used that term to describe ourselves AS A BAND. As, individuals we respect
and utilize and subscribe to a variety of different aesthetics, strategies
and beliefs, both political and punk-wise, some of which are probably
considered 'riot girl' . . .
You can get back issues of Bikini Kill fanzines (issues #1 and #2) from riot
girl press for $2 each. They are a girl run girl fanzine distribution
network, write to them and send them $1 for their catalog which contains
brief descriptions of stuff available thru them as well as info on how to
get involved in what they're doing. Please note that these fanzines are way
outdated--both were made in 1991 and also that although both have
contributions by other band members most of the stuff in them was written by
our singer, kathleen, this is not to say they aren't informative but rather
to make an effort to posit them more exactly with regards to the factors of
history and subjectivity . . . r.g.p. pob 73308/washington, d.c. 20009
