[1] 7 Year Bitch was formed in 1990 by vocalist Selene Vigil, guitarist Stefanie Sargent, bassist Elizabeth Davis and drummer Valerie Agnew.

Their first album, Sick 'Em, was released in 1992, but it was overshadowed by Sargent's death on June 27,[2] through passing out on her back after returning home from a party where she had drunk alcohol and taken a small amount of heroin.

[6][7][8] On April 8, 1994, the band played a benefit show for Rock Against Domestic Violence at the Cameo Theatre on Miami Beach, alongside Babes in Toyland and Jack Off Jill.

[10] Following the tour supporting Gato Negro, guitarist Roisin Dunne left, and was replaced by Lisa Fay Beatty, the band's live sound engineer and long-time friend.

The band moved from Seattle to California, Elizabeth Davis and Valerie Agnew to San Francisco, and Selene Vigil to Los Angeles.

With the recent departure of their guitarist, Roisin Dunne and the geographical separation between bandmates, Seven Year Bitch's career came to a close after a final tour with San Francisco's Lost Goat.
