Bikini Kill is a feminist punk band that was based in Olympia, WA and Washington, DC, forming in 1990 and breaking up in 1997. Kathleen Hanna sang, Tobi Vail played drums, Billy Karren (a.k.a. Billy Boredom) played guitar and Kathi Wilcox played bass. Sometimes they switched instruments. Bikini Kill is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early 90’s via their political lyrics, zines and confrontational live show. The band started touring in June 1991. In addition to touring the US several times, they also toured Europe, Australia and Japan. Bikini Kill recorded and released a demo tape, two EP’s, two LP’s and three singles. Their demo tape was self-released, while their first two records came out as a full length CD/Tape and their singles were posthumously collected on CD.

Selma Al-Aswad

Selma Al-Aswad is a longtime Seattle-based Palestinian-American activist and researcher. She organizes with the Palestinian Feminist Collective.

The Ghost Ease is an independent rock band envisioned and led by Cuban-American multidisciplinary artist, Jem Marie. Known for compelling live performances, the project vibrates with life from Marie’s dynamic lilting vocal stylings, rambunctious fresh guitarwork and emotive artful compositions. By turns impassioned and playful, percussive melodies braid with layers of distortion, rising and falling like a tide. Marie’s fluid vocals span a dynamic range of emotional landscapes, mixing gentle intimacy with fiery force. They are joined by Elly Swope (MAITA) on drums and Carlos Segovia (Máscaras, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical) on bass.
