Another predecessor band to the “riot grrrl” scene was another all-woman rock band called L7; the name is a longtime slang term for “square”, since an “L” and a “7” in block lettering can form a box.  The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1985 by guitarists and vocalists Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner; bass guitarist Jennifer Finch and drummer Demetra “Dee” Plakas were then added.
