Los Angeles, United States (1985 – 2001)
In 1991 the band formed Rock For Choice, a Pro-Choice women’s rights group which was supported by other bands of that era, including Nirvana, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, 7 Year Bitch. Rock for Choice still exists and organizes concerts today Incluiding bands such as SPAYED.
Their 1992 album Bricks Are Heavy, produced by Butch Vig, featured in Rolling Stone’s May 1999 list of ‘Essential recordings of the 1990s’, and is widely considered their classic.
The band gained a certain amount of notoriety for their performance at the 1992 Reading Festival, when Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd in protest against the missiles being thrown by the crowd. In the UK, the band are most famous for an appearance on the popular late-night entertainment programme The Word, in which Sparks pulled her pants down to reveal her pubic area. During a live show in London in 2000, the band offered a one night stand with Dee Plakas as a raffle prize, although it is unclear as to whether this was a genuine offer or not.
The band’s most recent album Slap Happy, was released in 1999, and did not chart on either side of the Atlantic ocean. According to the band’s website, “L7 are on an indefinite hiatus.
