which is also around the time I saw them 

in Chicago.

L-Seven EP (1982)

Prior to playing guitar in the Laughing Hyenas with former Negative Approach singer John Brannon, Larissa Stolarchuk (later Strickland) performed vocal duties and released a 3 song ep during the early 80s with Detroit's sonically angular L-Seven. Not hardcore, but a bit too rough around the edges for new wave, L-Seven provided a startling difference to the super aggressive hardcore bands well represented in Detroit during this period. Despite a number of high profile support slots for acts like Echo and the Bunnymen, The Gun Club and U2, L-Seven's tenure proved short lived. Drummer Kory Clarke later achieved some commercial success fronting the major label band Warrior Soul.

Jane's Addiction - 1988 - Detroit

Heard Jane's Addiction for the first time while in a car,
motoring around the northern Chicago suburbs sometime during
the Fall of 1988. Their sound worked the crossroads of
metal and the nascent world of "alternative" rock.
Here's some of their trippy, heavy rock n roll
from a 1988 tour stop in Detroit.
