As much as we’d like to hear a freshly-pressed Le Tigre LP–one that doesn’t involve Christina Aguilera–the trio’s new tour documentary (Who Took the Bomp?, available June 7th through Oscilloscope Laboratories) is a not-so-gentle reminder of just how vital their live show was without resorting to the tired tropes of electro-clash or pure, post-feminist sloganeering.
In some ways, the spirit of Le Tigre’s 2004-2005 trek is alive in the work of JD Samson’s new band MEN, but let’s be honest: There’s nothing quite like seeing a synchronized version of a song like “Deceptacon.” Check it out below, along with screening dates for the Kerthy Fix film…
