Riot Grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill are getting back together after 20 years

“This is not a test”, pioneering riot grrrl four-piece Bikini Kill are getting back together.

The band, who comprise vocalist Kathleen Hanna, bassist Kathi Wilcox, guitarist Billy Karren and drummer Tobi Vail, broke up back in 1997.

Twenty-two years on, Bikini Kill have now announced that they are reforming, kicking off with three tour dates in the US this spring.

The group gave a brief taster of the reunion in 2017, when they got back together at the Kitchen in New York to perform one song – check it out below.
