Legendary feminist rockers L7 kick off the first leg of their final world tour, dubbed “The Last Hurrah”, today (Tuesday, October 6) in San Diego.
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.
The band has unleashed their new single ‘Loma Linda’. Pulled from the archives, the demo was originally recorded in 2003 with Tanaka on bass and 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 web site for the first week. After that it’ll be available across all streaming platforms.
L7‘s 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.
Finch died less than three months ago after a battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer. She was 59 years old.
