Formed in 1985, L7 first began as a collaboration between Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner.
Later adding Jennifer Finch and Dee Plakas to the lineup, L7 released their self-titled debut in 1988, followed by 1990’s Smell the Magic and 1992’s Bricks Are Heavy , a Billboard 200 hit whose lead single “ Pretend We’re Dead” reached the top 10 on the Alternative Songs chart. In
the meantime, L7 founded Rock for Choice and organized the abortion-rights nonprofit’s inaugural, history-making concert (a 1991 event also featuring Nirvana and Hole). With Hungry for Stink arriving in 1994, the band joined that summer’s Lollapalooza tour, later releasing 1997’s The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum and 1999’s Slap-Happy . Announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2001, L7 returned for extensive touring in 2015, then put out a pair of back-to-back singles: 2017’s “ Dispatch from Mar-a-Lago ” and 2018’s “ I Came Back to Bitch .”
In addition, 2016 saw the release of L7: Pretend We’re Dead , a feature-length documentary on L7 by Blue Hats Creative.
