Jennifer Finch (also Jennifer Precious Finch), born August 5, 1966, is an American musician and photographer. She was the bass player for the rock band L7 from 1986 to 1996, and has been with the band again since their return in 2014.
Finch began her musical career in the mid 1980s playing bass in the San Francisco-based all-female band called Sugar Baby Doll (or variously, Sugar Babylon). Also in the band was future Hole founder Courtney Love and future Babes in Toyland founder Kat Bjelland. This line-up produced a demo recording which remains unreleased. Finch subsequently played in the short-lived Hollywood band The Pandoras, formed by bassist Gwynne Kahn.
Finch joined Los Angeles grunge group L7 (who were generally regarded as a heavy metal band at that point) in 1986, as bass guitar player and vocalist. She remained with L7 throughout the band’s most successful period in the early 1990s.
Finch has since been involved in other musical projects, including the major label Pop rock band OtherStarPeople and a stint in Betty Blowtorch, appearing in the documentary film Betty Blowtorch And Her Amazing True Life Adventures. Her most recent band was The Shocker, which played dates on the 2005 Warped Tour.
