Kathleen Hanna‘s new band The Julie Ruin have released their first song. “Girls Like Us” is a contribution to the soundtrack for author T Cooper’s book Real Man Adventures and features a delightfully girlish lead vocal performance from that inimitable tongue kisser and queercore drag performer Vaginal Creme Davis.
CLICK TO PLAY:
Download “Girls Like Us (Vag Vocal Version)” for a limited time via The Rumpus.
The Real Man Adventures CD is available to buy on T Cooper’s book tour and at Ben’s Barbers in New York City’s East Village (217 Avenue A between 13th & 14th).
@djm Yeah it was a solo thing and then she turned it into a five-piece band a couple years ago with Kathi Wilcox from Bikini Kill, Kenny Mellman from Kiki and Herb, Sara Landeau and Carmine Covelli.
is julie ruin considered a new band? that was the name of her solo project between bikini kill and le tigre, no?
Oh Kathleen! How far you’ve fallen since the good old days of Bikini Kill. Lose the drag queen!
