Bikini Kill reissuing 'Pussy Whipped' & 'Reject All American'; first reunion show is tonight

Bikini Kill play their first show in over 20 years tonight at Los Angeles’ the Palladium which is very exciting. If you need something to hype you up a little more, the band just announced that they’re repressing their classic albums Pussy Whipped (1993) and Reject All American (1996) on vinyl and CD. Both have been out of print on vinyl for seven years and old copies go for quite a bit on Discogs. You can preorder them for $15 bucks a piece — they’re out in May but you can get them at the merch table tonight. Stream both below.

In other news, Bikini Kill have announced openers for their London shows at 02 Academy Brixton: Big Joanie and Childs Pose (which includes members of Sauna Youth) open the June 10 show (sold out) and Big Joanie and The Tuts open the June 11 show (tickets).
