LOL my Aunty's the drummer. its so weird to think that people saw her as a band considering we don't really talk about it that much in our family. I never saw a concert because this happened way before I was born, but I do remember her singing and often showing me her drumming set when I was younger.
Gemma, I was in a band that supported them many times. Just come back to this video coz I was interviewed for a podcast today about 'the olden days' . Its strange how the whole 'riot Grrl' thing caused such a stir . Lovely people, they were very kind to us, gave us gigs, put us up etc If when you see 'aunty Karen' (haha) next say hello from Kev from 'Persecution complex' would be lovely to think they remembered us :)
I was there. Freeze it at around 40 seconds and I'm the guy with the long hair and ripped jeans with a hat on his head. My old mate Stuart is dancing to the left of me on a podium. My friend Annie got thrown out of the studio for protesting about something. Showing solidarity I joined her. I'm still waiting for the boy/girl revolution to happen.
Tell your aunt how fucking awesome I think her band was. I'm from India and I got into riot grrrl music when I was about 15 (I'm 22 now) and this was one of my favourite songs and helped get me interested in feminism. Loved the boy/girl revolutionaries thing. The lyrics are brilliant.
can't explain how important this band were in my youth(youth is wasted on the young)mostly spent my time in the durum ox and the mag in leic,drinking too much with prolapse and cornershop,john simms,freed unit,voon, ect,Dont regret it for one moment.picked egg anyone?
Funny thing: the american band Bikini Kill (and later Le Tigre, which has been in a renewed interest after tiktok videos ) is the most Riot Grrrl known act, that's for sure. This is now. Otherwise, being a teenager boy living in rural Southern Brazil in the 90s, I've never heard any of their songs. But there was a national Brazilian indie radio show called Novas Tendências (New Tendry, I supposedly think it's the best translation to English) in those days that played 'Her Jaz" constantly. I still have the cassette with the songs lost somewhere here in my messy apartment. So, for me, the sonic and visual representation of what it is the American Riot Grrrl movement is the English Huggy Bear 🤭. Yep, the boy/girl revolution never happened and seeing the things with no passion I would say it will never occur.
I never thought I'd actually get a chance to see this, their appearance on this show is legendary! It didn't disappoint either, totally chaotic punk-rock! I wasn't old enough at the time to have watched it so a big thankyou for the upload.
All a bit Holland Park Comprehensive, but I remember loving how the music press just couldn't get their heads around the fact that Huggy Bear really didn't give a damn about them or need their validation. How many other bands took that stance, apart from The Clash? Maybe the Manics. So, yes, all due respect. A tune wouldn't have hurt though. Bloody beatniks.
I was there. Remember it vividly. It was Pinkie, the Floor Manager/Audience guy who got bit by one of the Riot Grrl movement. Also guests that night were Henry Rollins, Paula Yates and Tasmin Archer (remember her) and , i think, Living Colour. I got in VIP bar afterwards and everyone laughing about the whole thing.
gemmakendall1523: Your aunty's band is one of my favorite bands of the 90s! They played a show here in the Twin Cities (which I sadly did not see) in probably 92 or something and influenced a lot of people. Minneapolis' underground music scene was strongly affected by Huggy Bear. People still talk about them. I'm so jealous of you lol!
although this ws not a church at the time this was lauded and applauded by all media in britian as radical feminism and taking over a tv station noone went to the gulag and buggy bear got their 15 minutes
They were an alright band. Came across as privilaged white middle class kids trying to be angry about something but I don't know there background to be fair.
I remember Melody Maker (whose Sally Margaret Joy was a big champion of the Riot Grrrl movement) running a cover story on this performance and, of course, the trouble that ensued afterwards. I always found Huggy Bear interesting but it kinda felt like they burnt out really quickly. Their first single came out in September '92 and within two years had disappeared. They left some great singles though, all of which are brilliantly chaotic.
Still got the issue of Melody Maker which made a cover feature out of this performance. Absolutely loved Huggy Bear - anyone know what its members are up to these days?
Just read bout them in the book 33 Revolutions Per Minute. Most of them left music shortly after this, for "careers in childcare and social work." That's all it says in the book.
hahaha HELL YEAH! Sweet song and video! I'm looking for inspiration for new songs and someone suggested I check out this band, glad I did! Way to pave the way for female rockers!!!!!! I am a female singer in a new pop/punk band called HEY YOU! If any of you HB fans wanna give it a try let us know what u think (it is a lil more poppy than this one, but MAN!! Wish we could play a show together ) youtube search: Hey You Band Taking Over (the one with the bunny)
I saw them in 1992 when they supported Bikini kill. For whatever reason, Niki Elliott announced to a reasonably small crowd to separate into girls at the front and boys to the back. Most complied and then in the middle of their set she started to complain that the crowd were too quiet ! I wasn't too impressed but I was slack jawed during Bikini Kill's set and when Kathleen Hanna emerged wearing a big white fluffy jacket and shades I fell in love on the spot and kind of told her so to her disgruntled face. She did hug me and we corresponded briefly after that but that's another story.
@lukeanator4465 Of course it's a gay song, what do you expect from a riot grrl band? According to WIkipedia, it was more than just a protest that got members of the band ejected after the show, apparently at least one producer got bit :). Ah, the good old days, when punk was punk...
Not that this woman doesn't shred faces but...didn't Huggy Bear have a male lead singer? I know them mostly for 'Pansy Twist' (one of the best core songs ever cut imo) and that record definitely had a man singing the main vocal.
Chris is singing backup with Amelia Fletcher of Heavenly and dancing around in this video. Huggy Bear had multiple vocalists (Niki, Chris, and even Jo sang on a few demos).
took the words out of my mouth mate..thank God sometimes shit doesn't float to the top, but tumbles along the bottom to obliteration...just garbage.... then now and forever
Couldn't agree more. I remember seeing this on the word 20 years ago & thinking what a load of s**t & 20 years later it's still s**t & embarrassing to watch. Proof that the NME would champion any crap as long as the bands in question were politically 'right on'
Needs more guitar feedback. Also, they suck. "Angry", and "Raw", are terms often used to describe bands without any actual talent, who desperately need a gimmick to sell the project. This stuff is literally beneath the level of many teenage garage bands. This is a perfect How-To example of what you should do to get ahead in the absence of any musical ability, or songwriting talent.
Just because you don't like doesn't mean they're bad. Besides, that's the whole point of punk. You don't need to be good, you just need to be yourself. It's basically a counter culture to 60s complicated rock and metal. Kids who wanted to play music without knowing how to do it in a theoritically correct way had nothing to relate to. Punk gave them a voice.

Tell your aunt her band meant a lot to us back then, some of us were just ready for this and it was amazing.
This is awesome, I used her music to learn how to play drums. A band I played in covered Pansy Twist.

Tell her thank you! I wasn’t alive for the Riot Grrrl movement in the 90s but it’s still so inspiring to me
Was she also in phantom Pregnancies?
The whole thing, the colors, the amateurish rock n roll vibe, the crowd, the coolness of the singer is just perfect

21 when this came out, bought the 7" and went to see them and Bikini Kill.. brilliant stuff.

i NEED this on spotify immediately
I believe it’s on Spotify :)
@@serenmoon850 IT IS :D
30 years old last month + still feels vital.
One of the most original and interesting bands. I bought OTY and loved every track!
im stoned watching this at 2am
Me too right now! 😎
can't explain how important this band were in my youth(youth is wasted on the young)mostly spent my time in the durum ox and the mag in leic,drinking too much with prolapse and cornershop,john simms,freed unit,voon, ect,Dont regret it for one moment.picked egg anyone?
man, that is awesome. makes me feel like i'm an angry teenager again, in a good way!
this is living proof the the nineties were indeed better than the eighties !
Huggy Bear lasted from 1991 to 1994.
With all due respect, the nineties were very patchy musically, compared to the eighties.
@@mbrady2329 the 80s was mostly synth pop and drug-addicted, womanizing rock stars. I'll pass.
@@gav6189, were you actually alive at the time, or is this just an op-in-i-on based on what you've read about the 1980s on t'internet?
the troubled youth! the only time they appeared to the mass media and the message was clear: this is the sound of a revolution-boy girl revolution

the day the British music press started their hate campaign against Huggy Bear was the day punk died.
Giving the Mary Chain a run for their money with the feedback.

love huggy bear.
We need the Word back, it was fucking awesome
A L W A Y S wanted to see this. Was a big fan but missed it at the time. HB smashed it, still got the records.
although this ws not a church at the time this was lauded and applauded by all media in britian as radical feminism and taking over a tv station noone went to the gulag and buggy bear got their 15 minutes
never heard of them, thx it's a cool discovery
it's a fart in the wind, with a wig on.
They were an alright band. Came across as privilaged white middle class kids trying to be angry about something but I don't know there background to be fair.
omg courtney i love you so much please reply to this comment my life will be complete xoxoxo
I reckon L7 did it better- and on the same show.
Thanks so much for posted...have been waiting over a decade to see this!
At last! Been trawling for this for years! Thanks so much!
meu deus q mulher maravilhosa
remember this like it was yesterday - thanks for the awesome upload!!
Rock on our precious huggy bear grrrls!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!
I was lead here by a riot grrrl documentary and this shit is sick why the fuck is it not available to stream
jeez this is quiet

kind of a good approach to making decent punk - get in and out fast, leave chaos in your wake.
FINALLY! HOORAY!
Still got the issue of Melody Maker which made a cover feature out of this performance. Absolutely loved Huggy Bear - anyone know what its members are up to these days?

check out guitarist Jo Johnson and her solo music. her "Weaving" EP is one of my favorites
Aaaaaaaaand onto the Barbi Twins.
Awesome!! :)
That's my dad on bass.
This band must be what it's like for The B-52's to have a counterpart existing in the Bizarro Superman Universe
which one was Graham Coxon's girlfriend
The one with a wig

I love her hair. Is it a wig thoguh :S ?
@samsamknight
Yeah dude, you're so correct. It's not music. It's fucking punk rock. Not Kenny G. or Celine Dion or Steve Vai.
so does the guitarist have like a Feedback pedal or some shit?
Not that this woman doesn't shred faces but...didn't Huggy Bear have a male lead singer? I know them mostly for 'Pansy Twist' (one of the best core songs ever cut imo) and that record definitely had a man singing the main vocal.

They were crap, but wonderfully so - they had the moves and the energy, if nothing else.
which one dated graham coxon?
***** are you her? :)
the lead singer
Oh Dear
@lukeanator4465 Kinda the point of Queercore
lol they're british
Great memories. They're probably all middle aged housewives/husbands with 2.4 kids now though!
Lee Thacker probably not
took the words out of my mouth mate..thank God sometimes shit doesn't float to the top, but tumbles along the bottom to obliteration...just garbage.... then now and forever
flemwad dude this was BEFORE Smash Mouth, how were they supposed to know how to play real music?
@sizzlemeat this is a gay song! holy shit!!!!!!
Lukas Hughes by "gay" you mean GREAT, don't ya.
Remember when this came out and thought woman make me a cup of tea.
Wimble Dan do it yourself lazy ass lmaoo old sexist dude it’s 2019
Funny that I actually dated riot grrls back in the 90's.
Now most are your average housewives.
this is a gay song holy shit!!!!!!
Shite, why were the NME pushing these? when L.I.N.D.A were a much better band, messagewise AND attitude wise.
What is L.I.N.D.A?
why is she wearing clown shoes?
hang on a minute.. I know..
duno but her ass isnt to see also... meh
hahahah so funny wow hahahah
It's proof that the sixties were better than the eighties. #fractalign
This band is from 1991-1994.
Rubbish!

Stop making sense, you will confuse them.
I bet they're embarrassed to watch that now, I am and I even bought the record back then!
andy jones as opposed to your embarrassing cover of Walk Like an Egyptian that has 9 views and 0 likes?
What a load of crap, bad at the time , just as terrible now. Where are they now??!! who care's lol
jameyinegyptsland What a crappy comment. They were bloody fantastic. Where are you now? Who cares.
Needs more guitar feedback. Also, they suck.
