WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR 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.
@polosandpearls it's not even just the massive tour horse endured, their overall movie was just better and i'm not being biased towards the music. it is the content and the amount of thought put into it. it wasn't just "hey here we are playing some shows and then look at us eat a couple of times, oh and look at that weird guy over there." it was about life and had seriously thought provoking philosophical content and went beyond the normal tour dvd. it takes you places you never thought you'd go

@chadinterrupted I don't necessarily think when they are judging these films one of the categories they judge on is "who had it more tough". I really think it is a little petty to be complaining about some dumb award in general but if you really feel the strong need to, you should be directing your anger or frustration towards sxsw not le tigre.

@polosandpearls i'm not saying touring isn't hard, i'm saying compared to what horse the band did, i highly doubt their tiny little tour was difficult in comparison to the latter and I was shocked to see their movie win. It's always the best one that gets shit on.
