LA-founded hard-rock hellraisers L7 will perform their landmark album Bricks are Heavy in full (Pretend We’re Dead, Shitlist, Wargasm, Everglade, Slide etc) this December in Australia and New Zealand.
L7 debut album came through Epitaph, run by Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz. Their second album Smell the Magic came through Sub Pop. For their third album, Bricks Are Heavy, L7 signed with Slash, knowing that the label had international distribution beyond the US and Europe and could introduce the band to Asia and Australia.
Bricks are Heavy was produced by Nevermind producer Butch Vig and catapulted the band into the mainstream with the timeless Pretend We’re Dead – originally written by Donita Sparks as a break-up song but becoming an anthem for the grunge generation.
