About the documentary:
The film follows iconic feminist electronic band Le Tigre on their 2004-2005 international tour across four continents and through ten countries. Supported by a community of devoted fans and led by outspoken Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), Le Tigre confronts sexism and homophobia in the music industry while tearing up the stage via performance art poetics, no-holds-barred lyrics, punk rock ethos, and whip-smart wit in this edgy and entertaining documentary. Directed by Kerthy Fix (STRANGE POWERS: STEPHIN MERRITT AND THE MAGNETIC FIELDS), WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR features never before seen live performances, archival interviews, and revealing backstage footage with these trail-blazing artists.
About Tara-Michelle Ziniuk:
Tara-Michelle Ziniuk is a writer, activist and media-maker who has lived in Montreal, Toronto, Guelph, Florida and a bunch of suburbs (against her will.) She has a 1-year old named Anna Francis, who is not named after Anne Frank or Frances Bean (or the Bedtime for Frances badger, for that matter.) She is author of the poetry books Emergency Contact (queer angst, McGilligan Books, 2006) and Somewhere To Run From (slightly more mature queer angst, Tightrope Books, 2009.) She really wants to write a) a Young Adult novel about the on-again, off-again relationship between a girl, a gender-complicated person and the local activist scene b) a kids' book about kitchen parties and how being poor is sometimes alright c) a graphic novel and d) a poetic prose book about one of her brothers. She apparently likes brackets, lists and run-on sentences.
