Le Tigre - "Deceptacon"

From 2003 or 2004, oddly promoting their self-titled debut from 1999

[@gabepollock9616]

The fact this is clearly recorded off a worn VHS adds so much to the experience it's crazy

[@nz9636]

automatic vaporwave.

[@FrowningIke]

Guy needed to adjust the tracking! 😉

[@lilyyylc]

amazing

[@treehann]

it's so trippy how it's skipping and warping just like back in the day! lol

[@CheOrwell]

My new favourite version. Worn VHS Deceptacon… tracking…

[@dantaex]

This band was way ahead of time

[@tannerin]

Israel they definitely were a few years early for the 80s revival

[@andrewvida3829]

Clearly, you were not doing the NYC club scene, mid-70s through about 1983. That said, they're still a lot of fun. Cheers.

[@lateblume4208]

This song sounds like it came out 20 years earlier tho

[@wellsshady]

Post-hardcore punk was like this in the late 90s, reminds you of Sunshine from Mars Volta's record label, it's the same culture

[@FLAMINGBABYHEAD]

X-ray Spex was around in the 70s though.

[@virtuallyunknownn]

A late night audience actually dancing to the music? That’s something I’ve never seen before.

[@eggwarb4859]

How tf did this get more than 600 likes and not one comment

[@jcee7714]

And not one person recording on their f'ing cell phone ! [ there. a comment ]

[@Comrade.Question]

@@jcee7714 lol yeah that was pretty common in 2003

[@nb2910]

So people could just show up to the show and get in, so a lot of times fans would go to be part of the audience. I think they might have actually separated us, people who wanted to see the show and people who wanted to be in the crowd, don’t remember.

[@meghancalahan4798]

I recorded lots of shows back then on my digital camera (glad i did) but it had the quality of a potato 😅

[@adamgorsky8422]

The world wasnt ready for Le Tigre

[@jasonpeters9716]

B52s? Devo? GoGos?

[@jasonpeters9716]

LeTigre just offshoot of early-mid 90s alternative music

[@Kruppt808]

There were alot of similar bands during and after this time that never made it. The world said 1 is enough😂

This song makes me think of my husband. He plays it all the time. I love him. :)

You seriously cannot not dance to Le Tigre. The only time I got to see them in 2001, they had to stop the show early because the floor at the Arts Center they were playing at was literally about to collapse. They asked the packed crowd to limit their dancing, but it was impossible.

[@endangeredoddities]

You can tell she really put her voice through some hell. Seems like she has trouble with the notes nowadays and I imagine her sickness still had some lasting damage. Makes me sad when artists like her or Cedric Bixler Zavala lose their abilities to sing because they have such unique voices.

[@whoreywhorerson553]

Al i love her as well do you know what her sickness is? thanks

[@juliannasegura3518]

she has lyme disease

[@whoreywhorerson553]

Julianna Segura thanks

[@evunee]

She's touring again with her old band Bikini Kill and from what I've seen on fan vids at a concert she still sounds good. I'm excited to see her in Brooklyn next year! :)

[@youngsuit]

man how badly i wish i could have seen prime at the drive in

[@0IIIIII]

AWESOME VIDEO QUALITY LITERALLY NO EXAGGERATION OR SARCASM INTENDED!

[@ayyvee7160]

Those were the last of those weird times when the internet was still relatively fresh some bands would release an album and it would take like at least 5 years for it to actually get noticed. Now a band or artist can release an album and it's considered old news after just a month.

[@freaktab11]

What always strikes me about this video is how incredibly confident and sure of herself Kathleen is - she puts her hand on her hips and leans into the audience. She is so awesome and sexy - blows my mind. Just not something you see everyday. But, recently, I was noticing how the blonde in the audience looks just like Megan Rapinoe from USWNT. Le Tigre and Kathleen are amazing!

[@danielrose3447]

Whatever Kathleen touches is golden

[@nicholasrichey7164]

And she starts jump roping at the end lol such a classic song

[@TimTheHermit]

One of my all time favorites. Kathleen Hanna really channels the late great Poly Styrene (from X-Ray Spex) so freaking well on this song! Absolutely love her energy!!!

If you think they were ahead of their time, just wait until you see pictures of Metallica wearing thrasher shirts in the 80s when the magazine first came out 🤦‍♂️

[@doofmaczemy]

I find it hard to believe there is not a better recording of this somewhere.

[@MrBraffZachlin]

lol the crowd dancing looks like a clip from a school dance scene in an old molly ringwold teen movie. i do love this band though as well as bratmobile, bikini kill, jack off jill ect...

[@DingyGirrl]

I love how the censors missed the "fuckin" before linoleum floor! Kathleen is a true inspiration...one of my biggest ones. I love this performance

So Fukn rad!!!!!! I had goosebumps the whole time with a big fat smile on my face, wishing I was there dancing my ass off!!!!!!!

[@laronis]

Probably my favorite music video of all time, just behind Steppenwolf's "The Pusher" and Deep Purple's "No One Came" and a bunch of the B52's videos. Just Outstanding!

[@anyfoolknowthat]

I feel like I must have wrote this, 5 years ago- “No One Came”?

[@Lunathiel_]

I *just* got into Kathleen Hanna's music, maybe a month ago. I can't believe it took me such a long time, cause I'm almost 30 now, and I love many bands from around the same scene. The first thing I heard was Deceptacon, and it was an instant favourite. My first thought was "OH, this is some FUN music" 🤩 This performance and the audience's reactions prove that - it's fun music for fun people who like playing, dancing, experiments and speaking their mind. Such a great song ❤❤❤

[@Biboche23]

I miss tho days! Especially right now. This was one of my high school days anthems 13 yrs ago

[@Takaho31]

[@wmprokipchak]

just phenomenal version that slays the already great original!!! DE-finitive & would make a corpse rise from the dead to the dancefloor

[@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce]

Last Call w/ Carson Daly was actually an awesome show. I was exposed to some really unique bands and artists with his show. I think it came on at either midnight or 1am and I always made such an effort to stay up and watch it. I hope there are a bunch of "episodes" uploaded here on youtube or some other site.

[@bellahoughton84]

Carson like good music. He just did that crappy TRL boy bands and TRL crap rap bands for $$$. Shit? I would've too!

[@laronis]

I have hundreds of favorites, but this is my favorite still after 6 years.

[@instawhut]

That is the difference. Some people are just hip and are being themselves. Then some people see these hip people and have no personality themselves so they emulate them. That is a hipster. Some people get labeled hipsters and they aren't. They're just hip people. Cool motherfuckers who were just being themselves before everyone started to copy them. Hence: Beck. And also hence the reason telus adds basically use my entire itunes library from 4 years ago. lol

[@been_bad]
