Fans worldwide have come to love L7′s heavy, riff-oriented guitar grind. L7′s albums have been released on legendary U.S. labels Epitaph, Sub Pop, Slash/Reprise, as well as their own label, Wax Tadpole. Since their recording career began in 1987, L7 have spawned underground and mainstream hits, such as: Shove, Pretend We’re Dead, Shit List, Andres, and Drama. Their music has also appeared on countless soundtracks, including “Natural Born Killers.”

L7 have toured all over the world, numerous times, in clubs, concert halls, and festivals, some of which were: Offshore (Australia), Go Bang (Germany), Lollapalooza (U.S.), Hollywood Rock (Brazil), and Reading (U.K.). In addition to appearing on television shows internationally, including David Letterman, L7 starred in John Water’s movie, “Serial Mom”, and are the subject of a rockumentary by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, entitled “The Beauty Process.”

The L.A. based band, formed in 1985, consisting of Donita Sparks, guitar and vocals, Suzi Gardner, guitar and vocals, Dee Plakas, drums, and at various times, Jennifer Finch, Gail Greenwood, and Janis Tanaka on bass, have also made time to play many benefits for organizations like Rock For Choice (which they formed in1991), Greenpeace, and Act Up L.A., to name but a few.

Hands Off Gretel are a 4-piece alternative rock band, formed late 2014 in South Yorkshire, UK.

The band emerged from a music venture and friendship between singer/songwriter Lauren Tate and guitarist Sean McAvinue. Following a tumble down the stairs at rehearsal and a few broken bones (literally!) the pair started a new band together, with Lauren moving onto rhythm guitar the pair wrote songs inspired by their joint love of 90’s bands. Joined by Danny Pollard on bass and Laura Moakes on drums, the four came together for the first time in October 2014 to breathe life into a collection of songs written by Lauren. Harnessing a raw, dynamic energy and channelling it through songs that really get stuck in your head, H.O.G. is a band you have to see.  

The band’s front woman, Lauren, takes her inspiration from “ballsy women” fronting punk/grunge bands.
“I am always searching for female singers with integrity and attitude who don’t rely on over-sexualised imagery to sell their music, but they are hard to find. So I set about creating music that I wanted to listen to and couldn’t find, unless I looked back 25 years! I’m sure there are others who also want to hear this music.”

It’s a daring leap into a 90’s alternative sound that sees Lauren following her true musical ambitions, resisting the easier routes to success that have been offered. With YouTube views now approaching 2M and a social profile of over 20k followers, her incredible vocals are evident for all to see & hear. Hands Off Gretel has a solid platform to get their new music out.

The band launches in February 2015 with 3 free download tracks, a new video and a series of live dates, which will be built upon in the coming months. The band’s first gig will be Sat 7th March at the Barnsley Rock & Blues Club. Keep up to date with the band and sign up to the online newsletter here… www.handsoffgretel.co.uk
