Bikini Kill in Philadelphia

Bikini Kill is an American punk rock band that pioneered the riot grrrl movement with feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music is characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced.

The band formed in Olympia, Washington, in 1990, and quickly became known for encouraging a female-centric environment at their shows. They urged women to come to the front and handed out lyric sheets. Attendees can expect a high-energy, politically charged performance.
