Synopsis

“WHO TOOK THE BOMP? LE TIGRE ON TOUR” is a concert film that follows the infamous feminist electronic band on their international farewell tour. Covering 20 live performances, the film celebrates Le Tigre's infectious political dance music while examining the sexism and homophobia of the contemporary pop machine. Through a bitchin' blend of video projections, fine art poetics, and fun music, LE TIGRE: WHO TOOK THE BOMP? exemplifies the band's ability to retain its foothold amongst devoted fans and newcomers alike.
