Junie Had a Little L(7)amb

A couple weeks ago my beloved L7 put out a call for people to send photos and videos to potentially be included in a new video for their single “Fake Friends,” which includes Joan Jett on backing vox.

I may have had an old photo laying around of my sweet li’l riot grrrl, June, holding a stuffed lamb wearing a shirt with the L7 logo embroidered in it (made by a dear friend, who knows me all too well). I submitted it, and when the video went live today I gave a look, and there she was–June Jett, right at the 2:30 mark.

The 7-inch for “Fake Friends” and “Witchy Burn,” which I wrote about a month ago, is also available for preorder now on Jett’s label Blackheart Records. I love rock ‘n’ roll!

L7 Feel the “Witchy Burn”

I love L7…but you know that. Right? Of course you do. Last year the band put out a killer record called Scatter the Rats, and they released a couple of songs today–a ripping cover of Joan Jett’s “Fake Friends,” which includes Jett on backing vocals, as well as an alternate take on L7’s “Burn Baby.” The new version, titled “Witchy Burn,” is slower and creepier than the OG–I definitely prefer it. The new songs were supposed to coincide with the band’s tour of New Zealand and Australia next month, which, of course, ain’t happening. I’ll take any L7 I can get. But you know that. Right? Of course you do. And while I have your attention, check out L7 guitarist/vocalist Donita Sparks’ campy The Hi-Low Show.
