'L7: Pretend We're Dead' Documentary Official Trailer Revealed Today

Fierce, feminist pioneers of American grunge punk, the L7: Pretend We're Dead documentary, directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Sarah Price (American Movie, The Yes Men, Summercamp), is coming this fall with select screening opportunities to be announced very soon. 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. Watch the brand new L7: Pretend We're Dead Official Trailer which premiered with Rolling Stone today.

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. Culled from over 100 hours of unearthed vintage home movies taken by the band, never before seen performance footage, and candid interviews, L7: Pretend We're Dead chronicles the band's triumphs and failures. It takes viewers on an all access journey into the 1990's grunge movement that took the world by storm. Charged with lyrics that had political bite and humor which proved irresistible to the disenfranchised, the marginalized, and the punk, they helped define grunge as the genre of a generation.

The excitement around the L7: Pretend We're Dead announcement has catalyzed a widely anticipated reunion bringing their high-octane energy and anthemic chops to the stages across the US and hit Australia this week. Full list of dates HERE.
