[2] The band was founded by Michael Smith (Smitt E. Smitty), Dave Rice, and Frank Callis, with Larissa Stolarchuck as the lead singer, who proved to be a gifted lyricist and front person.
In February 1982, they recorded a self-titled three-song EP at Multi Trac Studios in Redford, Michigan.
During their brief existence, L-Seven supported many well-known post-punk bands such as The Gun Club, Killing Joke, The Stranglers, Iggy Pop, Bauhaus, U2, and The Birthday Party.
Guitarist Dave Rice would go on to form The Linkletters with Schuer and L-Seven’s manager Ken Waagner and roadie Bill Methner, later forming Sandy Duncan's Eye and at one point auditioning for British post punk band Public Image Limited.
[1] In 2020, with the involvement of Sonic Youth drummer and Michigan native Steve Shelley, a long time fan of the band, Third Man Records released a compilation of unreleased L-Seven Demos and live recordings,[2] which includes live renditions of the Misfits song "London Dungeon" and the Alice Cooper song "You Drive Me Nervous".
