First and foremost, Le Tigre have not broken up. As a recent post on their official website confirmed, the electro-politico trio have instead "taken an extended break from all things Le Tigre." Okay, that could be smoothed-over-ese for "split forever," but at least there's a glimmer of hope in a "break" not followed by an "up."

And just what non-Tigre things have these artsy kids been up to? Well, you already heard about Johanna Fateman presiding over Seagull beauty salon in NYC, which is apparently still going strong. JD Samson, meanwhile, has New England Roses and a new "DJ/production/remix team" with Fatemen called Men. Samson's even inverted her initials and lined up some DJ dates; scope those below.

As for the gal your mother always warned you about, Kathleen Hanna has turned to teaching. Catch a lesson from Coach Hanna at the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls (perhaps you've heard of its awesomeness?), or at "an art class of some kind" at New York University's graduate school in the coming term.

Beyond that, there is talk of one thing Le Tigre: a possible live DVD/CD. No details there yet, but those of us hurting for live Le Tigre would like it soon. Pretty please? Thanks.
