L7 has been rocking the uderground and mainstream scene with their raw, agressive garage sound and attitude for a pretty considerable time, spitting hots like “Shitlist” song that ended taking part in the soundtrack of Oliver stone´s “Natural Born Killers” (1994) and marking the difference in their live gigs with facts like Donita removing her used tampon off stage and thrhowing it into the public yelling “Eat my used tampon fuckers!!” as a way to complain for the mud that was being throwed onto the stage by the public.
The bands name came out from a slang word very used on the 50´s wich meant square and was oftently related to the sexual possition “69″.
According to their official Website L7 has been in an indefinite hiatus since 2001 And its members are all working in their own solo carreers as is the case of Donita and Dementra and others are just working in other band proyects as is the case of bassist Jennifer Finch who is playng on a punk rock band called The Shocker.
in 1999 they released their first album Sonic Brew with spitfire records wich in the begining was supposed to be another Wylde´s solo album.From then to th date the band has released nine albums in total. Stronger than death(2000), Alcohol fueled brutality(2001), 1919 Eternal(2002),The Blessed hellride(2003), Hangover music Vol VI(2004), Mafia(2005), Kings of Damnation 98-04(2005) and Shot to hell (2006).

American garage rock band leaded by famous actress Juliette Lewis(Natural Born Killers)who joined H2O´s guitarrist Todd Morse , bassist Jason Womack and drummer Ed Davis.
In 2004 they released their first E.P. “like a bolt of lightning” and their first full album under the name of “You are Speaking My Language” wich included songs like You are Speaking My Language wich was their most succesfull single and Got Love to Kill wich had a more disco influenced sound.
Juliette really knows how to charm her public…
In 2006 they Releeased their 2nd album “four on The Floor” wich included Hot kiss, a really cool punk rock tune with one of the crappiest videos I ´ve ever seen in were you can see juliette walking arround in a funny way dressed like an indian mixed with one of Fame ´s Characters.
I dunno If the band is still together , but I would tottally love a new album, for those who don´t know the band I highly recomend to get their albums cause this band rocks!
