WHO-LA: 4 DECADES OF L7’S RIOT GRRRL POWER

“I know we all have a lot of steam to blow off in today’s cultural/political climate, but a smile on your face with a middle finger in the air is the way to go at this show.” - Donita Sparks

Formed right here in LA in the mid-’80s, L7 is the punk band that inspired generations of women to grab guitars. Now, they’re bringing that fire back home for an explosive 40th Anniversary Bash at The Belasco on Saturday, October 3 with a stacked lineup featuring Lunachicks, CSS, and more!

Ahead of the madness, we caught up with frontwoman Donita Sparks to talk about their LA roots, surviving misogynist rock dinosaurs, and how every L7 show feels like a family reunion.
