During their performance at the 1992 English Reading Festival, the band experienced "technical difficulties with their audio equipment" and were forced to stall their set. Quickly, the crowd grew restless and began throwing mud onto the stage. Lead vocalist Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd yelling "Eat my used tampon, fuckers!". Sparks has remained unapologetic about the incident. It is considered the "most unsanitary pieces of rock memorabilia in history".
I dont care about the tampon story, they were wild smart women and very good musicians. The tampon was dirty, just like other crazy and stupid things that other rock singers used to do (Blackie Lawless eating flesh, Marylin Manson cutting himself, Axl Rose beating people from the public, etc) L7 were dirty and rebel, 90s feminists, Im very proud of them
Really great grunge band here. But, like so many other great grunge bands Screaming Trees and Posies just to name a few others they were overshadowed by the enormous bands of the era like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. As a result, they never received due credit.
@JefPorkins You're right you know... RIP Larissa Strickland. L-Seven opened for The Birthday Party in the early 80s in Detroit. They still had the Birthday Party setlist when I hung out with them in the early 90s. What a let down to find out it's the Sub Pop band.
This persons information is wrong.. that's a photo of Detroit's L-Seven! not the L7 that came from califorina later. L-Seven (not L7) (Larissa Stolarchuk) died on October 8, 2006, at the age of 46. Pleae correct your information. thank you.
I missed this song! Reminds me of sneaking out to meet my first boyfriend who would be waiting in a taxi looking bored and not that pleased to see me, and climbing back in my window when he had enough.
@HoosierMF I could but I wont. Unless the actual members of L-seven write me and tell me this free, if somewhat misleading advertising for their cover art work, is unnaceptable. Now stop being a biatch and enjoy it!
it's not a rumor. she did it for sure at more than one show. i was at one of them - reading festival. except the tampon didn't make it to the crowd and got stuck in the scaffolding around the stage and stayed there for all of next act's set (nick cave) :)
The "used" tampon rumor is only partially true, not having quite reaching it's full potential at absorbancy, the fan who was hit in the face with it put it up for sale on ebay at a discount, Parris Hilton bought it but was never able to use it due to it's pohibition in jail, she gave it to Brittany Spears who wanted it, but couldn't keep it in long enough due to her lack of panties. The latest leed is that Hanah Montana has it but isn't sure where it goes :)
That pic is actually the sleeve of a 7" by the Detroit band L-Seven, which featured Larissa Strickland (pictured on sleeve), who would later play guitar in the Laughing Hyenas and, sadly, has recently died.
what about the most famous of them all..ozzy osbourne eating the head off a bat, ha!!..now lets all pretend that we'er dead
