Viva Knievel (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viva Knievel was a short-lived punk rock and pre-riot grrrl band in Olympia, Washington that existed around 1989–1990. Viva Knievel was Kathleen Hanna's second band, and included Zeb Olsen and Billy Karren.[1] Her first band had been called "Amy Carter".[1][2] Four Viva Knievel songs recorded in 1990 were released as a 7" EP on Cindy Wolfe's record label Ultrasound Records.

In 1989 Hanna came upon a copy of Tobi Vail's zine Jigsaw, and Hanna interviewed people while on tour with Viva Knievel in summer 1990 for inclusion in Jigsaw.[2][3]

In 1990, Hanna, Karren, and Vail formed Bikini Kill with their friend Kathi Wilcox.[4]
