26 November 2007 : Bikini Kill: added new show (28 October 1995); clarified date of Kaos radio show (December 1996) - thanks Mike Ziegler

May 2007 : Bikini Kill: added two images from the Denver gig of October 1994; added more images to the mystery photos section. Have a look and try and help us ID them!

Birdland: tweaked post-Birdland projects.

December 2006 : Birdland: added setlists for Reading and Harlow (July 1989) and Walsall (December 1989) after a taper made his original recordings available.

November 2006 : Not dead - just otherwise engaged. Lots of material to add when we can find the time. Added a couple of links!

February 2006 : I'd hoped to have an interview this time around, but after travelling over 100 miles and spending in excess of £100 (including taking an armful of the artist's new 7" for distro) for the pre-arranged face-to-face, I was told it wasn't gonna happen. Clearly, if the corpse of punk rock is to be found, it sure ain't anywhere near Olympia, WA.

As a result, I've removed the few details regarding the artist's current work from the site. If you want updates, you'll have to go elsewhere. A shame really, but then who's got the time - or inclination - to spend being snubbed by indie musicians in the upstairs room of a pub?

Bikini Kill: new recording added (Brighton, 18 March 1993), added new date (White Horse, 20 March 1993) and corrected Bull & Gate, London (moved to 3 April 1993). These facts extend the length of BK's 1993 UK tour by over a week so there are clearly more dates to be found.

Added new images for 9 October 1992 ; 4 / 14 / 15 July 1994 ; 21 October 1994 ; 5 November 1995.

Birdland: added rare interview from 1989.

28 September 2005: Bikini Kill: new show discovered (Red Barn, Hampshire College - 8 November 1991) complete with image; new recording surfaced (Forte Prenestino, Rome - 27 April 1996); another two images added to mystery photos section.

Revised the "Contribute" page into something less daunting. Basically, if you know something that doesn't appear to be included on the site, drop us an e-mail.

1 August 2005: Bikini Kill: added image for Los Angeles (28 April 1993); added mystery photo.

13 July 2005: added a couple more links. A few more substantial morsels on the way.
