Exactly two years after their last appearance at Neighborhood Theatre, legendary grunge punks L7 returned to Charlotte — but a lot has changed since then.
Over the summer, the band lost their longtime friend and bassist Jennifer Finch, with Janis Tanaka stepping in as her near-identical visual replacement. Meanwhile, after four decades of noise, attitude, and three-chord anthems, the end of L7's story is finally coming into view.
This show felt less like a concert and more like a visit to a museum dedicated to an era that ended a long time ago — except the exhibits were still alive, loud, and rocking. L7 may not have much time left, but those gloriously uncomplicated songs still hit the spot, especially if you're in the mood to revisit the good old days.
L7 are still here. For now.
