 The Slits
The Slits played their first gig at Harlesden in March 1977.
They went on to dig their dub-rock trench alongside post-punk
luminaries like PiL and The Pop Group.
Their debut album, Cut,
bristles with tribal rhythms and proto-Riot Grrrl observations on
love, gender, politics and consumerism.
Ari Up (real name Arianna
Foster) and Tessa Pollitt reformed the band with new members in
2005, and in 2006 released the EP Revenge of the Killer Slits.
With several new members, The Slits toured the US, Australia
and Japan as well as performing in Britain (with Viv Albertine
rejoining them for two gigs).
A new album, Trapped Animal, was released in
2009.
Group founder Ari Up died unexpectedly of cancer in October
2010.
