L7 have announced their 40th Anniversary Bash on Friday, October 3. Presented by L7 and curated by frontwoman Donita Sparks, the event will serve as the band’s second annual takeover of The Belasco in Los Angeles, with Lunachicks, CSS, and additional soon-to-be-announced performers joining L7 on the lineup this year.

“Suzi [Gardner] and I started the band way back in 1985 withstanding many trials and tribulations, band members, and misogynist rock dinosaurs,” Sparks shared. “Gratefully, we survived, even thrived at times, and we want to celebrate with some of our very special friends who joined us along the way. Enter our sisters-in-arms, Lunachicks, whom we haven’t played a show with since 1990, at CBGBs in New York City. This will truly be a momentous event of insanity and rock and roll. Adding to this rowdiness are our pals CSS, who will get the electro-fun party going. We go back with those maniacs as well.

“I think all three of our bands share a certain sense of humor, political right-on-ness and bombastic energy,” she added, “so look out mellow ones… you will be rocking! Come on out and join our celebration.”
