Le Tigre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Firefox Le Tigre is an American electroclash band, formed by Kathleen Hanna (formerly of Bikini Kill) and Johanna Fateman in 1998 in New York City. It also featured Sadie Benning from 1998 until 2001 and JD Samson for the rest of the group's run. Le Tigre is known for its left-wing sociopolitical lyrics, dealing with issues of feminism and the LGBT community. History[edit] Initially envisioned as a live backup band for Hanna's solo project Julie Ruin, Le Tigre mixed the politics and feminism of riot grrrl with electronic samples and lo-fi beats. In the second half of 2006, the band decided to take an extended break starting early 2007. Use in popular culture[edit] Le Tigre performing in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the early 2000s.
