[POSTPONED: May 13, 2020] Bikini Kill / Alice Bag [moved to November 22]
When Bikini Kill did their short reunion tour a couple years ago, tickets sold out in like ten seconds. When they announced this follow up tour I grabbed a ticket immediately. As far as I can tell it still hadn’t sold out when it was postponed (which is a surprise, I think).
Bikini Kill are foundation for the Riot Grrl movement although I was not a huge fan of them per se. I have their records appreciate them for what they did, but they weren’t my favorite,
Nevertheless, this opportunity to see them live sounded like a great time.
Alice Bag has been cropping up in my periphery for quite some time although I realized I didn’t know much about her. Alicia Armendariz was a co-founder and singer of the 70s punk band The Bags. After they broke up, she was in about a half dozen other bands, although none of them released more than some singles. She finally put out a solo album in 2016.
Her album(s) since have gotten strong reviews and it would be excellent to see this feminist icon in action.
