L7: Pretend We're Dead is a culmination of the band's re-ignited enthusiasm fueled by their fans' outpouring of encouragement and support on social media when the band hinted at the idea of a documentary in early 2015. Offering particularly revelatory insight into the band's 16-year career and eventual dissolution in 2001, the film features exclusive interviews with Exene Cervenka (X), Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Shirley Manson (Garbage), Louise Post (Veruca Salt), Joan Jett and more. L7 are taking over Los Angeles this week, with the film making it's LA debut at the Vista Theatre (11/17) followed by two blazing blowout hometown shows at The Troubadour (11/20) and Echoplex (11/21).
