BILLY BOREDOM
 
 
Billy Boredom  (born William Francis Karren) is an American musician, best known as the lead guitarist of the punk band Bikini Kill, formed with other members Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox and Tobi Vail.  He was also active in many other music projects including: The Go Team, The Frumpies, Corrections, and Spray Painted Love.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

In the late 1980’s, three students at the liberal Evergreen College in OlympiaKathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail and Kathi Wilcox began publishing a feminist fanzine called Bikini Kill.  Guitarist Billy Boredom was recruited to buttress the band that they formed of the same name, Bikini Kill; as you might imagine, his presence in the line-up is under-stated.
