Written by Eric Sperrazza, Photos Provided by Charmed School MediaWhen I think of the band, L7, I go right to acknowledging them as conquistadors of the Riot GRRRL movement. I think of lead singer, Donita Sparks, as one of the foundational voices of punk music, today. The first time I heard L7, they were not rock royalty yet. It was on the Major Motion Picture soundtrack of Oliver Stone‘s “Natural Born Killers” when I was introduced to them.

Coming into the world of Combat Sports at the beginning of the new decade, I heard a song repeatedly at Amateur MMA promotions & Pro Grappling Cards. It was “Warrior Song” by the Danish Rock band Volbeat.

This explains why The Mann Music Center was under siege last Friday night by an enchanted army. As far as the eye could see, mobbing the security check and up the steep steps to the Skyline Stage, were hundreds of people adorning pink glitter, fairy wings, pointed ears, and carrying homemade signs.

Are you ready to raise the dead?” said the late Lux Interior of The Cramps on a 1995 Halloween episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. Yes, rock music has been no stranger to macabre-themed content. Along with The Cramps, my childhood was peppered with bands whose songs and stage shows were a tongue-in-cheek amalgam with a darkly B-rated Horror Show vibe.
