I'm not you on L7...


Hello I’m Imnotyou ,17 and I enjoy playing the guitar.
I 'm going topresent you a very special band, L7.

L7 is a Los Angeles punk rock band formed by    Suzi Gardner, Donita Sparks, Jennifer Finch and Demetra Plakas. As you can see it’s a feminine band!
 

 
It was formed in 1985 and it ended in 2001.  There’s a signification behind L7 which meant in the 50’s square but also “Hell is Heaven” or a sexual position.

They released in 1988 their first album “L7”, in 199O “Smell the magic”, in 1992 “Bricks are heavy”, in 1994 “Hungry for stink”, in 1997 “The beauty process” and in 1999 “Slap-happy”.

In 1991, the band formed Rock for Choice about women's rights, group which was supported by other bands of that period, including Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and Rage Against the Machine.

I absolutely enjoy their music because they sound very loud and aggressive, they don’t behave like all the rock stars they stay natural.

There’s one epic moment, if you are sensitive  what’s next isn’t for you: during the Reading festival of 1992. While they were playing the audience threw stuffs and insults them so in response Donita Sparks throw her used tampon in the audience! Yes I know it’s very trash but that moment is so impressive!
(You'll understand why we won't have the link to the video here!^^ Mrs P.)

Their successful song is “Pretend we’re dead” but there’s “Shove” or even “Monster” which are very good.
 

I recommend it to you if you appreciate punk rock.
