Revenge Of The Killer Slits EP

The Band started in 1976 in the wake of the immediate chaos and carnage of the Sex Pistols and quickly settled on a central line up of Ari Up, Tessa Pollit, Viv Albertine & Palmolive.

It was this line-up that supported the Clash during their 1977 White Riot Tour with the Buzzcocks and the Subway Sect. Palmolive eventually left, leaving the band to release only a handful of records. The first being the legendary Dub influenced "Cut" album.

The more experimental "The Return Of The Giant Slits" followed this up and these together with a clutch of acclaimed singles goes to make up The Slits cannon. After a 25 year sabbatical which has seen Ari Up moonlight as the legendary, Ragga Queen Mad-dusa and Tessa become a lethal martial arts expert (whilst bringing up their respective children) THE SLITS ARE BACKThe core of Ari & Tessa have joined forces once again, drafting in Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and legendary guitar hero Marco Pirroni (Adam & The Ants, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Sinead O' Connor) to create the "Revenge Of The Killer Slits" EP.
