Jennifer Finch

Jennifer Finch (born August 5, 1966) is an American musician, designer, and photographer most notable for being the primary bass player of the punk rock band L7.

Active in L7 from 1986 to 1996, Finch also wrote music and performed with her bands OtherStarPeople and The Shocker in the interim before joining the reunited L7 in 2014.

In 1994, Finch and her L7 bandmate Demetra "Dee" Plakas performed with Japanese musician Hide,[8][9] also appearing in the original video for his song "Doubt".

[10] In 1994, Finch was featured in a music video for Hole for their breakthrough album Live Through This, as the original bassist Kristen Pfaff had died of an over-dose in June of that year.

[12][2] OtherStarPeople completed their debut record Diamonds In The Belly Of The Dog in 1998; the group were signed with A&M Records/Interscope and the album was released in August 1999.

[13] Joshua Clover of Spin magazine described the OtherStarPeople record as bringing "less weight and more strangeness than Finch's old crew - it's L.A.-slick and punky-dirty".

The album features "kid friendly" versions of Ramones' songs with guest vocals and music provided by various punk musicians.

Her photography (1979–1995) was on display at an LA Weekly sponsored art show at Aidan Ryley Taylor Gallery in Hollywood, until November 18, 2006.

John Albert of LA Weekly reflected that Finch's images often depict the musicians in more intimate moments as well as providing a generally dark perspective of youth in Southern California.

[15] Finch appears in interviews and original footage throughout the documentary film L7: Pretend We're Dead, directed by Sarah Price and released in November 2016.
