Bikini Kill reunited last night for the first live performance in 20 years. They played one song at the release party for Jenn Pelly’s new 33 1/3 book about The Raincoats’ self-titled album. Pitchfork reports:
Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox, and Kathleen Hanna took the stage to perform “For Tammy Rae.” It was the first time the band had taken the stage together since they broke up in 1997. (Pelly says she had “no idea” this was going to happen; the night was put together by The Kitchen and Raincoats collaborator Shirley O’Loughlin.)
