Legendary feminist rockers L7 kick off the first leg of their final world tour, dubbed The Last Hurrah Tour, tomorrow October 6th in San Diego. They have commanded fans to their feet and their ballot box for over four decades with an effortless blend of punk ethos, heavy grunge, melody, socio-political anthems and humor and are thrilled to connect with fans globally one last time!
Before tragically passing away earlier this year, Jennifer Finch gave the band her blessing to carry on with the planned tour and welcome back L7’s bass player from 1999-2001 Janis Tanaka to replace her. Today, the band has unleashed their new single ‘Loma Linda’. Pulled from the archives, the demo was originally recorded in 2003 with bassist Janis Tanaka with music and lyrics completed this week! As an expression of love and gratitude for Jennifer, Janis and their badass fans, the band is offering the new song as a free download on the band’s website for the first week. After that it’ll be available across all streaming platforms.
Donita Sparks shares: “This new single marks the return of Janis Tanaka being back in L7 on bass after the sadness of losing Jennifer Finch a couple of months ago. I was searching the band’s archives and came across this unfinished track from when Janis was in the band. It still sounded rather fresh and very L7 so we recorded new vocals with new lyrics and some other additional tracks and cranked it out in a couple of days ahead of this upcoming tour. Gotta warn ya, we dig it and hope you do too.”
Be sure to catch L7 on tour this fall for a rib-rattling ‘In Your Face’ night of rock & roll.
