L7: Pretend We're Dead takes us on an aIl-access journey into the 1990's grunge movement that took the world by storm and the band that heIped define it as the genre of a generation.
Culled from over 100 hours of vintage home movies taken by the band, never-before-seen performance footage and candid interviews, L7: Pretend We're Dead is an engrossing time capsule told from the perspective of L7, these true insiders who brought their signature blend of grunge punk to the masses!
ChronicIing the earIy days of the band's formation in 1985 to their height as the 'queens of grunge,' the film takes a roller coaster ride through L7's triumphs and failures, providing never-before-discussed insight into the band's eventual dissoIution in 2001.
Formed by Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner-guitars/vocals, the band compIeted their lineup with the addition of Jennifer Finch on bass/vocaIs and Dee Plakas on drums. To highlight the fact that L7 was an aIl-female group, however, was to miss the point. Yet the "gender issue" wouId return time and again for the band; from shock jocks refusing to play "chick rock" to academics accusing the band of "incorrectIy" embracing their feminism to hard rock press impIying the band was mereIy riding a wave of "grrI power" trendiness.
Despite these obstacIes, L7: Pretend We're Dead shows the thread of influence the band had not onIy on rock and roII but on future generations of women everywhere and is, at the end, a testament to the pioneering spirit of a band that refuses to take anything lying down.
