Legendary Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) recently released a critically acclaimed debut The Julie Ruin record titled Run Fast. Featuring dream-team Kathi Wilcox on bass (Bikini Kill bandmate), Kenny Mellman on keys (’Kiki and Herb’), Carmine Covelli on drums (actor, filmmaker and musical juggernaut) & Sara Landeau on guitar (met Kathleen mentoring at Rock Camp for Girls), the band will wrap up a US tour and then head to Australia for a short stint in January 2014.
The Julie Ruin provides a tight musical backbone to Hanna’s iconic vocal style. The band previously shared album cuts “Ha Ha Ha” and “Oh Come On“ (video) and “Just My Kind”. Today they reveal a brand new album track remix from DFA’s YACHT, which premiered with Rolling Stone. Download the “Right Home” (YACHT Remix) below (still prefer them with guitars though!)
Kathleen Hanna is a celebrated, outspoken figure at the forefront of feminist punk. The Punk Singer is a documentary film directed by Sini Anderson and produced by Tamra Davis which follows Kathleen for a year and reveals why she had been absent from music for several years prior to The Julie Ruin album and tour. It will be released theatrically in NYC & LA and available on VOD on November 29, 2013.
One of WG’s most played: ‘Oh Come On’
Run Fast and is out now via TJR Records, distributed via Dischord.
“In The Julie Ruin, Hanna is still the woman so many have admired, even idolized; but she’s also fully herself, quirky and vulnerable, less a role model than a three-dimensional best friend.” – NPR
“Hanna is one of America’s greatest living rock performers.” – The New Yorker
”…the inclusive titular invitation– plus featherlight sing-song notes and masculine shouts by her bandmates– puts the song square in 2013.” – Pitchfork
“Kathleen Hanna has one of America’s toughest punk voices – somewhere between a Johnny Rotten sneer and a Valley-girl shrug.” – Rolling Stone
“the new song harkens back to Hanna’s days in Le Tigre, with its catchy keyboard line and surf-dance beat” – SPIN
“Now more than ever, Hanna’s voice and music resonate and inspire.” – Alternative Press
