Biography

Dubbed a one-off experiment by ex-Bikini Kill lead singer Kathleen Hanna, Julie Ruin released her self-titled record on the Kill Rock Stars label in September 1998, following the breakup of Bikini Kill in February of that year. Described as Hanna's alter ego, Julie Ruin picked up where Bikini Kill left off, singing of feminism, violence, objectification, juxtaposition, and the Valley Girl Intelligentsia. Best described as lo-fi electronica, Hanna recorded and mixed the record in the closet of her Olympia, WA, apartment with Paul Schuster. Julie Ruin did not tour to promote the record. Kathleen Hanna went on to form New York-based band Le Tigre in 1999. ~ Stacee Sledge, All Music Guide

Julie Ruin
Studio album by Julie Ruin (Kathleen Hanna)
Released August 11, 1998

Julie Ruin is the independent record produced by Kathleen Hanna under the name Julie Ruin in 1997, while taking a break from Bikini Kill. It touches upon feminism, crocheting, aerobics and resisting police abuse. It was mostly produced in Kathleen's apartment in Olympia, Washington. Despite this project mostly being known for the album, Kathleen Hanna started collaborating with her friends Sadie Benning and Johanna Fateman in order to create a live version of Julie Ruin. This group would go on to become Le Tigre.
