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.
Other members included Fateman and Samson. Samson joined Le Tigre as a full member when co-founder Benning left the band before the Feminist Sweepstakes album was recorded. Samson had previously worked with the band as a roadie and the operator of Benning's slide show during live performances in support of their first record. In the second half of 2006, the band decided to take an extended break starting early 2007.
