The Slits concert in Paris

The Slits are an all female post-punk band. The quartet was formed in 1976 by members of the bands The Flowers of Romance and The Castrators. The members were Ari Up (Arianna Forster) and Palmolive (Paloma Romera, who later left to join The Raincoats), with Viv Albertine and Tessa Pollitt replacing founding members Kate Korus and Suzy Gutsy. Palmolive was replaced by male drummer Budgie (aka Pete Clarke), formerly of The Spitfire Boys and later to join Siouxsie & the Banshees.


Ari Up and Tessa Pollitt reformed the band with new members in 2006, and released the EP "Revenge Of The Killer Slits". The EP features former Sex Pistol Paul Cook and Marco Pirroni (ex-Adam & the Ants, and Siouxsie & the Banshees) as both musicians and co-producers. In fact, Cook's daughter Hollie is a member of the current line-up. She is a backing singer.

VERY boring! Ari Up looks like an 'arty farty' version of Edina from Absolutely Fabulous. Trying to be really really interesting and rebellious at the grand age of... Oh we started it... Sure... Idon't think so. When you've removed your head from your arse and understood you haven't! We're so arty LOOK AT US. MUMMY YOUR NOT WATCHING ME!!! I need attention NOW! So obvious and so dated! I thought punks were supposed to be different but hey its old robe. Look at me I'm FUCKING AMAZING.... not!
