Nice story.
A grungy fairy tale ? Everything started simply though : a mere request on
social networks to get some old stuff about the band to make a documentary. It
finally ended up in an undreamed reunion and world tour ! A truly deserved and
long-awaited recognition that unexpectedly struck the girls after a 14-year
hiatus. I was there, front of the stage, long before the show started on that
twentieth of June. What a blast to see the girls back together ! Couldn't
believe it ! The first videos posted on the net were promising but still rough
(but hasn't it ever been done it on purpose ?!). One thing was obvious : they
were not coming back for money. The pleasure to play, together again, was plain
to see. The band's break up in 2001 had never been desired and being back
together in 2015 really cast a bright rekindling light on the girls' faces.
Unfortunately,
that day, at Hellfest, L7 certainly went through one of the poorest sound
conditions of the festival, even if they were lucky enough to escape the power-cuts
that spoiled some other sets (Airborne's among others, but the O'Keeffe
brothers know their stuff to entertain their audience anyway !). I was seething
! One of my favourite, "Fuel My Fire" was so muffled that I didn't
recognise it first ! Listening to it now, it doesn't sound" that
bad", though, but could have been much louder and better anyway ! But, being
able to see them at last swept away all my kind-of moans. They played head-on
as ever, warts and all, and to quote Jennifer's words just before
"Slide", "a bass never goes out of tune, and when it does, it
even sounds better anyway !"
To this
recent L7's concert, I added a gold nugget from the day. Their Rockpalast gig in
Essen, Germany, in 1996. Janis just joined
the band after Jennifer's departure. Their fifth album, "The Beauty
Process: Triple Platinum" had just been released and this is the
opportunity here to listen to some songs not so commonly played now,
"Drama" particularly with its pre nutty cheer
"C'mooooooooooon" coming from Donita's gritty crackpot voice I've
always loved. The girls are in great shape and even it it is now a bit
"old", the quality is first gen. and is really enjoyable to watch.
I used part
of the teaser of the forthcoming documentary (I really can't wait to buy !) to make
the first page of the menu as I really like it and everything that makes L7 is
in there ! I also topped up the dvd with
some extras from the band's few appearances on French TV. Especially the one
during the International Film Festival, in Cannes, in may 1995. I remember being in
front of my TV that evening, watching "Nulle Part Ailleurs", a quite
successful entertaining talk-show at the time. L7 was the musical act of the
day and ... the set went wild. I got stunned. Playing back to the sea, they delivered
a totally wild version of " Questioning My Sanity", Jennifer going
completely nuts, spinning round all the way. I kept the host's comments (Gildas
!) for its "nice" English accent and his quite funny appraisal after
the song.
That comes
along with a rendition of " Lorenza, Giada, Alessandra" in Paris, in june 1997 and a
short interview of the band about the "would-be" riot-grrrl movement,
from the late "Metal Express" 1993 programme.
Enjoy !
Cheers !
