The (New) Slits New EP, Tour
Jul 14, 2006
Story by: Jen Holup
The Pixies may have recently declared themselves officially barren, but luckily the Slits are ready to birth new material. The Revenge Of The Killer Slits EP, out October 17 through SAF Records, will mark the band's first material since 1981's Return Of The Giant Slits. Pioneers of genre-stepping punk rock, riot grrrl and inspiration for female rockers far and wide, original members Ari Up and Tessa Pollitt join a laundry list of fellow punk rock royalty who guest on the record. Sex Pistols dummer Paul Cook, Adam And The Ants guitarist Marco Pirroni and the daughter of the Clash's Mick Jones all lend a hand in lieu of a drummer and original guitarist Viv Albertine. Pollitt's even making it a family affair this time around—her daughter Phoebe contributes backup vocals to "Slits Tradition".
The Slits kicked off their tour this spring at clubs and bars in the UK, and have already confirmed a number of US dates.

Sun, November 19, 2006 - 4:36 PMThey played another encore after you guys left. This was a nostalgic must see for me. I didn't think it would be great, especially after the beginning. But with Ari's personality it was a memorable concert. I didn't realize they had not played here since the 1981 I-Beam concert. -

Sun, November 19, 2006 - 9:38 PMI thought it was fun and Tessa's bass playing is deep and funky.....I happen to love good dub reggae so no problem w/ the new material but nowhere near as fine as the ol' standbys!!!

Mon, November 20, 2006 - 1:18 PMI agree, Cary. Not a great show, but memorable for being able to spend a couple of hours in Ari's world.
Trivia: Ari mentioned during the show that back-up singer Holly has a famous father-- he's Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols. -
