It's a big news day for Kathleen Hanna. The riot-grrrl catalyst and riveting frontwoman for Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, and the Julie Ruin has a new song for your ears, "Blueberry Island," from the forthcoming limited-edition 7-inch on Federal Prism. It's a dollop of dulcet, midtempo pop, complete with winsome "bah bah"s and gently glowing keyboards. The flipside features a YACHT remix of "Right Home."

Also, Hanna's Riot Grrrl Then and Now Lecture, which was cancelled earlier this year due to illness, is rescheduled for April 29, 2015, at Neptune Theatre.

Finally, Hanna is starring in the short film Myrna the Monster, voicing the role of Myrna, "a heartbroken alien dreamer from the moon transitions into young adult life in Los Angeles just like any other 20-something," according to the press release. This Ian Samuels film will premiere at Sundance. Check out the trailer below and the press release after the jump.
