Given Tina Belcher’s strong lady tendencies and propensity for wiggly dancing, it makes total sense that the Bob’s Burgers star would be into Sleater-Kinney. Still, it’s both awesome and amazing that the group tapped the Bob’s animators for its latest video, below. The clip, for “A New Wave,” is pure grrrl-powered heat, with a cartoon Janet Weiss bringing the rhythm while the animated Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker work the Belcher kids into a danceable frenzy.
Sleater-Kinney is on tour now and absolutely worth seeing live. Dates are below.
