After a series of brief reunions to work with artists like Christina Aguilera and Pussy Riot, the band reunited in 2023 for a largely sold out[7] tour of Europe and North America.

They have been the subject of several controversies, including criticism for their participation in the trans-exclusionary Michigan Womyn's Music Festival in the early 2000s, and a 2021 copyright infringement lawsuit targeting their most popular song, "Deceptacon" (1999).

Not wanting to perform the material alone, she recruited Johanna Fateman, whom Hanna had known since meeting at a Bikini Kill concert several years prior.

[8] While Benning was still in Chicago, Hanna and Fateman began sharing cassettes between the three band members, with songs that would eventually become material for Le Tigre.

[9] The band signed with Mr. Lady Records, a label founded in San Francisco by Hanna's friend Tammy Rae Carland and her then-girlfriend Kaia Wilson.

Hanna remarked that "JD added an undeniable flair and charisma to the live show and took to touring and recording like a fish to water.

[14][15] In March 2004, Le Tigre signed with Strummer, a subsidiary of major label Universal Records,[16] a move described by Kathleen Hanna as a make-or-break for the band, who were considering breaking up due to exhaustion.

[20][21] In 2010, Le Tigre briefly returned from a hiatus[22] to produce Christina Aguilera's "My Girls", from her sixth studio album Bionic.

[26] On October 19, 2016, Le Tigre released the song, titled "I'm With Her", and its accompanying video to voice their support of the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.

Several acts from the label, including Le Tigre and The Butchies, received verbal harassment and death threats as a result of playing at the 2001 festival.
