The Punk Singer Page #3

---

...like, you know what I mean?

What are you doing?

Kathleen and I, we

were both going to.

...evergreen state college.

Our friends had this idea

that was, like, called "the.

...revolution girl style now. "

That was sort of like our idea.

Like, "let's get all these girls.

...somehow to play instruments. "

I'd read Jigsaw,

Tobi's fanzine.

And she was one of the only

girls I knew around who was.

...talking about feminism and.

...punk rock kind of in

the same sentence.

Tobi was like, "Kathi, do you.

...know how to play

guitar or something?"

I was like, "no. "

"Do you know how to play bass?"

"No. "

She's like, "do you

want to start a band?"

I was like, "okay. "

Tobi was like, "I think we.

...should ask this girl

Kathleen to be the singer. "

I was like, "yeah, we should,"

'cause she's perfect

to be a singer.

You couldn't get

a better singer.

You couldn't ask for a

better front person.

And we all got together and.

...started playing at

Tobi's parents' house.

It was just the three of us

for, like, months and months.

We wanted a girl guitar player,

but we just couldn't do it.

We would have people

come and play with us.

But it just didn't work.

And then Tobi was kind of like...

"I think we should

ask my friend bill. "

And I'm like, "oh, I

guess we can try it. "

And then that was it.

We're bikini kill.

We're bikini kill,

and we want revolution.

Girl style now!

Hey, girlfriend, I

got a proposition.

Goes something like this.

Dare ya to do what you want

dare ya to be who you will

dare ya to cry

right out loud

you get so emotional, baby

double dare ya

double dare ya

double dare ya

What everybody said about us.

was that we couldn't play our.

...instruments, and we said, "and?"

We were a young band getting a

ton of attention in a scene.

where there were a ton of bands...

...and everybody wanted attention.

And we didn't realize it at the.

...time because we weren't

really that careerist.

We didn't give a sh*t.

We weren't making money.

We knew we were never gonna

make money, and it was really.

...important that we

made our music.

We were on a mission, and we

were gonna do what we did...

whether we got attention or not.

We were spreading the message on.

...the road at our shows, handing.

...out fliers, telling people

what we were doing.

Our fanzines were all about

feminism and political issues.

We just tried to take feminist.

...stuff that we read in books and.

...then filter it through

a punk rock lens.

Just wait.

Zoom in on that.

In a hundred years, this.

...footage will be worth quite

a bit of money... Not.

Fanzine by me, by me.
