DEMETRA “DEE” PLAKAS
Demetra “Dee” Plakas (born November 9, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois) is a Greek–American musician, best known for being the drummer in the all-female rock band L7. (More from Wikipedia)
Another predecessor band to the “riot grrrl” scene was another all-woman rock band called L7; the name is a longtime slang term for “square”, since an “L” and a “7” in block lettering can form a box. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1985 by guitarists and vocalists Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner; bass guitarist Jennifer Finch and drummer Demetra “Dee” Plakas were then added.
