Filmmaker Sarah Price (The Yes Men, Summercamp!) directed Pretend We’re Dead, which chronicles the band’s remarkable career, from their formation in Los Angeles in 1985 through their numerous tours and six studio albums to their initial break-up in 2001. The film includes never-before-seen home movies, previously unseen performance footage and interviews with Garbage’s Shirley Manson, Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic, Butch Vig, Joan Jett, Lydia Lunch, CSS, Brody Dalle and X singer Exene Cervenka.
L7’s original lineup reunited in 2015 and the band has spent much of the past two years on the road. The group has a handful of California dates scheduled for this fall, including stops in Santa Cruz September 26th, San Francisco the 27th and Los Angeles the 30th.
