7 Year Bitch was a Grunge band from Seattle, Washington that was active between 1990 and 1997. Their career yielded three albums, and was impacted by the tragic deaths of their guitarist Stefanie Sargeant and close-friend Mia Zapata .


BIOGRAPHY

7 Year Bitch was formed in 1990 by vocalist Selene Vigil, guitarist Stefanie Sargent, bassist Elizabeth Davis and drummer Valerie Agnew. Vigil, Sargent, and Agnew had been playing together in the Seattle band Barbie's Dream Car when their bassist left for Europe. They subsequently recruited Davis and renamed their band after the movie Seven Year Itch .

At their first concert, the band opened for The Gits , who would prove to have a significant influence on their music. In 1991 the band released the single "Lorna" and signed with C/Z Records . Their first album, '' Sick 'Em '', was released in 1992, but it was overshadowed by Sargent's death on June 27 due to a drug overdose. After a prolonged period of uncertainty, the band decided to continue, recruiting guitarist Roisin Dunne as Sargent's replacement later that year.

In July 1993, longtime friend and Gits frontwoman and Jack Off Jill .

In 1995 the band signed with Atlantic Records , and in 1996 released their third album, '' Gato Negro ''. Following the tour supporting ''Gato Negro'', guitarist Roisin Dunne left, and was replaced by Lisa Faye Beatty, the band's live sound engineer and long-time friend.

In early 1997, the band began recording material for what was to be their fourth album. However, the sessions were quickly marred after the band received news that they were being dropped by Atlantic Records. Without the support of a major label, and with waning internal interest in the group, 7 Year Bitch disbanded.

Following the break-up of 7 Year Bitch, bassist Elizabeth Davis joined the San Francisco-based band in 2006, and now resides in New York .
