To highlight the fact that L7 was an all-female group, however, was to miss the point. \"Our fans couldn't give a sh*t if we're women,\" Sparks says. \"We did not set out to be an all-girl band. It just happened that way.\" Yet the \"gender issue\" would return time and again for the band; from shock jocks refusing to play \"chick rock\" to academics accusing the band of \"incorrectly\" embracing their feminism to hard rock press implying the band was merely riding a wave of \"grrl power\" trendiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite these obstacles, L7: Pretend We're Dead shows the thread of influence the band had not only on rock and roll but on future generations of women everywhere and is, at the end, a testament to the pioneering spirit of a band that refuses to take anything lying down. \"They can't hear a word we said, when we pretend that we're dead\" Also includes the infamous 1997 documentary \"L7 The Beauty Process\" that was directed by Krist Novoselic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41280946372808,"sku":"760137987598","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/81kAUwvmayL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1657581702","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/es\/products\/aba-blu-l7_pr001-76013","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
