[edit] Biography

Shive's parents were "intentional future community" people and her mother called her Running Pony until she was about six years old, and regularly changed her name. Shive eventually chose one of them, Madigan, as her permanent name when she was fourteen.[1] The family lived in a teepee in Washington State for about two years when she was a child, and moved often. At the age of seventeen, she formed the Seattle based duo Tattle Tale with Jen Wood.[2] The band broke up in 1995. She formed Bonfire Madigan with contrabassist Sheri Ozeki and percussionist Tomas.[3] Shive has formed her own music label, Moonpuss. Her songs have appeared in films including Sleeping Beauties (1999), But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), Better Luck Tomorrow (2002), Chain Camera (2001), Don't Need You: A History of Riot Grrrl and D.I.Y. or Die: How to Survive as an Independent Artist (2002). In 2001, Shive made the news while raising money to fight tenant eviction and trying to raise awareness of tenant's rights.[4]
