The song “Hot Topic” on Le Tigre’s self-titled début pays tribute to dozens of visual artists, musicians, writers, feminists and others who have inspired them. Among the honorées are: Yoko Ono, Aretha Franklin, Vaginal Creme Davis, Yayoi Kusama, Sleater-Kinney, Billy Tipton, James Baldwin and Jean Genet. In a similar fashion the song “FYR” off the album Feminist Sweepstakes is a tribute to the chapter and ideals put forth in Shulamith Firestone’s Fifty Years of Ridicule in her 1970 feminist work The Dialectic of Sex.
The first two recordings by the band were released on the independent label Mr. Lady Records, run by Kaia Wilson of The Butchies and artist Tammy Rae Carland. Feminist Sweepstakes (2001) came out on Chicks on Speed’s record label. The album This Island (2004) was Le Tigre’s first on a major label (Universal/Strummer). Ric Ocasek of The Cars produced one track, “Tell You Now.”
