G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’?
The legend in this episode is the lead singer and guitarist for L7. They’ve been around since the mid-80s, which makes em almost as old as the Psychos.
They’ve released seven studio albums over the years, with the latest coming in 2019. Their music is everywhere in movies and tv, and as a band they used their platform to fight for abortion rights back in the 90s.
But as an individual, my mate Donita has been a solo artist with her band Donita Sparks and the Stellar Moments and she’s always got her finger in some artistic pie or another.
It was way back in early December that we had this chat. L7 were out doing some festival shows and Donita was nice enough to meet up at her hotel in Melbourne, even though she’d just got off an 18 hour flight.
Get it inta ya.

How Ya Goin'? is produced by Sam Loy, a documentary maker, podcast and radio producer, and wannabe rock star. He started making audio content as a hobby, producing the documentary show Human/Ordinary. The right people heard the show and he started getting offers for work.
Since then, he's worked with the likes of Louis Theroux (The Louis Theroux Podcast), Marc Fennel (Not Alone - Beyond Blue), and Alexis Fernandez (Rule Benders - Samsung), and is very chuffed about making a 10 part book adaptation about an infamous 1944 plot to kill Hitler (Treason).
He has enjoyed every moment of working on How Ya' Goin'?, except for driving home from Ross' farm late at night, dodging 37 kangaroos with a death wish.
