Anyone into them? Is their new cd any good? By the way, is the person with the moustache a chick?

i dig le tigre

their new cd is okay, but it's nowhere near as good as their first two albums (not counting the two remix eps)

the one with the moustache is indeed (or was indeed) female...i'm not sure what JD's story is - if she's a he now, if she's on her way to being a he, or if she just likes to look like a he for the sake of genderfuck. the vibe i get is that he/she doesn't like people knowing what his/her whole gender thing is about, but i could be wrong on that.

man, that is deep. i thought she was a dude! but then i heard it was a woman. i'm confused so i think i'm going to ly down.

intriguing

I saw Le Tigre when they played here in NY on Monday (11/1). It was one of the most fun shows I've ever been to. I agree their major label CD, 'This Island' isn't as good as their debut. Man, that first album kicked serious ass.

JD still considers herself a proud lesbian so she must still be a she. In concert you could clearly see her boobies were strapped down.

you know, it totally went over my head that the new album is on a major label. i thought it was odd that ric ocasek was a producer on it...that shoulda clued me in.

so much for little miss DIY, eh?

sextonseven said:

would you describe their music as electro?

Anxiety said:

They all break down sooner or later.

dancerella said:

Electro-punk maybe. Some of their songs are very new wave and others are harder with electric guitar.

eh, i don't know that it's necessarily a bad thing. and anyway, i couldn't help but chuckle when i used to hear courtney love make catty remarks like how kathleen hanna is funding her indie label with "beastie boy money".

Anxiety said:

No, it's not necessarily bad at all. But look at Liz Phair.

Anxiety said:

I think Kathleen just wants to reach more people. In the October issue of Spin, she said she would be totally psyched is she heard their song on the radio.

i think it would be hot if le tigre went top 40 in the states, especially in this day and age. unfortunately, i don't think this album's gonna be the one to do it.

i hate to say it cuz i really love the girls, but - i'm just not feeling this one.

I was gonna go see them Saturday at First Ave. Half the attraction of that show was them being at the Ave. The venue they've been moved to is kinna crappy. So, I'm still debating on going.

I see sextonseven's opinion on this tour. Has anyone else been to it?

i bet even with a blah album, they can still tear it up live. the last time i saw them, i was so blissed out i damn near floated out of the venue.

is this the cars that goes boom girls?

Anxiety said:

I was afraid you were gonna say somethin like that

sosgemini said:

i wish -

that would be hot.

sosgemini said:

That's what I was wondering.

PurpleCharm said:

lol, that's L'Trimm not Le Tigre.

Anxiety said:

That's pretty much how I felt when I saw them on Monday.

sextonseven said:

Ok thanks. I remember now. I think I got it confused because one of the girls in L'Trimm was named Tigre...

sosgemini said:

Hahaha..I was thinking the same thing.I have that cassette somewhere.
