Yeah dont pay attention to anything that fat ass says. Did L7 ever play Ireland?

errrr....i dunno...i'm canadian...but my first instinct would be to say "yes."

**think** they might have supported Faith no More at the Point. Angledust tour

 

[Theseus Mock]

bring back the word & naked city!

think L7 might have done one of those sunstrokes?

 

[krystal]

L7 supported FNM in the Point, oh yes.

Also saw them at Reading 92.

Terrible, terrible band, and yet still Wargasm gets put on at parties on a regular basis.

 

[krystal]

also. Louise Wener. What the FUCK would she know about anything, least of all music, or writing readable books.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Honestly,it's ok to never speak of L7 again. they were shit.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I never was a huge fan of Wener (waheyy), but it's hard enough to argue with her on this one. I'd also add the Everett True has been saying the same thing (but louder and more about him) for donkeys.

Check THIS thread for some talk about this.. '03 styleee

is that THE infamous tampon Reading? if so...go on

 

[Lord Damian]

L7? shit?

balls! they were a great band.

 

[krystal]

It's not hard to disagree with this at all. Sure there are more men in music in general, we all know there's a bias but there are loads of women and female fronted bands doing great, and not so great things. Just because Louise Wener doesn't know about them doesn't mean there's a particular dearth right now.

Off the top of my head:

MIA
Miss Kittin
Endless variations on Riot Grrrl stuff still being churned out on an all too regular basis - the gossip etc
Sleater Kinney, the Organ, Shesus
Sons and Daughters
Rogers Sisters
The Husbands
Peaches, Chicks on Speed

etc etc etc

eh that's it. It was very muddy, people were throwing muck up on stage, she reached down her FRAYED CUT OFF DENIM BERMUDA SHORTS and thrun her tampon into the crowd in retaliation.

The frayed cut off denims over leggings were by far the more horrific crime.

is that THE infamous tampon Reading? if so...go on

 

[Lord Damian]

Peaches

peaches can kiss my taint...another toronto trust fund piece of shit ARRGGHH i'm seeing red.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Ach, I think she's talking about the rarefied atmosphere of the reasonably famous rock band, and not the altern/indie/whatever folks. Chances are none of the above will end up being houshold names like Hole/Courtney Love and to a lesser extent PJ/Breeders.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

remember Sleeper's Inbetweener

I saw L7 play with Faith No More. Not bad.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

i had one of their tapes back when we were spooling music.

heavy bricks or sometin.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

I'm still spooling music.
