The new clip was shot entirely on Super 8 film as the band toured through Olympia, Wa., where Hanna lived and formed her iconic band Bikini Kill. The result plays like an intimate tour diary — or as if one of those _American_ _Idol_ homecoming videos had an incredibly catchy, synth-heavy dance rock soundtrack. While Hanna has been absent from the music scene for awhile, her return is in full force with The Julie Ruin, who released their debut full-length album, _Run Fast_, last September. Suffice it to say that it’s good to have her back. **MORE:** [Music Video of the Week: St. Vincent, “Digital Witness”](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/05/st-vincent-digital-witness-video/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Lily Allen Gives a Breath of Sunshine in “Air Balloon” Video](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/07/lily-allen-air-balloon-video/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5637/kathleen-hanna-returns-to-her-roots-in-the-julie-ruins-goodnight-goodbye-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5637/kathleen-hanna-returns-to-her-roots-in-the-julie-ruins-goodnight-goodbye-video/"},"headline":"Kathleen Hanna Returns to Her Roots in The Julie Ruin's \"Goodnight Goodbye\" Video","datePublished":"2014-02-07T22:00:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T07:25:53.331Z","description":"After Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, Kathleen Hanna goes extra lo-fi in her new video","url":"https://time.com/5637/kathleen-hanna-returns-to-her-roots-in-the-julie-ruins-goodnight-goodbye-video/","keywords":["Music","Videos","Music videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5637/kathleen-hanna-returns-to-her-roots-in-the-julie-ruins-goodnight-goodbye-video/","name":"Kathleen Hanna Returns to Her Roots in The Julie Ruin's \"Goodnight Goodbye\" Video"}}]}] ```
