“The crowd got awful– they were simply being assholes, tossing mud at us the entire set, striking us hard on our bodies and on our guitars”: Donita Sparks informs the story of L7’s notorious set at 1992’s Reading Festival

L7’s trailblazing efficiency at the 1992 Reading Festival has actually been engraved into rock history. Regardless of being confronted with a series of technical troubles and a significantly hostile audience, the band– consisting of guitar players Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, bassist Jennifer Finch, and drummer Dee Plakas– provided what The Independent Called a “blistering set of transmittable political punk-metal”.

“The airline company lost our equipment, like our pedals, and things,” Sparks remembers of the experience in an approaching interview with Guitar World“We recuperated our guitars, however our pedals were non-existent. We were obtaining things from other bands, and when you play celebrations, you do not get a soundcheck unless you’re the headliner. We were not the headliners. We resembled the 3rd band or something.”
