[DID NOT ATTEND: October 10, 2022] L7 / Downtown Boys
I really liked the Riot Grrl movement and the bands associated with it. L7 weren’t really part of Riot Grrl although I’m sure some of their success was because they were women when Riot Grrl took off.
I enjoyed L7’s music although it didn’t quite gibe with the other music I liked at the time. “Pretend We’re Dead” was quite a hit/ And I rather liked “Andres,” but when this thirtieth anniversary show was announced I couldn’t remember much else from them.
I was initially intrigued by this reunion tour, but realized I didn’t care enough to see them.
Downtown Boys have been around for about ten years and yet I didn’t know them.
They create fiery punk rock with a sharp political edge. Their lyrics challenge white hegemony, entitled bro culture, and more while the music offers a distinctive mix of buzzsaw guitars and saxophone.
