Interview and performance clips - the Slits

[@scinformation7229]

Viv Albertine - so enigmatic and beautiful!

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

AMAZING FOOTAGE! WOW, really love that live version Grapevine, and all the others! Great video.

[@losttango]

Thanks for posting this, really interesting and great live footage. I saw them play at the Rainbow with Don Cherry - he played an absolutely brilliant set in support and jammed with them on their encores. They were SUCH a good band when they had Bruce Smith on drums and that massive bass sound.

[@Notecrusher]

That was fantastic! Ari and the girls sound great and Bruce Smith is a one man band! Slits forever!

[@nikidijawen]

Hahaha, i love the slits! i think men r different than women when making music, but these girls a tougher than any girl playin music music NOW!

[@losttango]

Thanks for posting this - really interesting and great performance footage. I saw one of their "rumoured" performances with Don Cherry - at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in the late 70's or very early '80s. He played an absolutely brilliant set in support, I believe with Lou Reed's backing band, and jammed with the Slits on their encore. One of the best gigs I've been to - they were SUCH a good band when they had Bruce Smith on drums and that huge bass sound...

[@tagacale1733]

its like 6 strangers met up and decided to play a show before they learned to play instruments lol love it

[@monsieurbotibol]

Thanks for discovering this great doc! I'm already downloading it from the torrent. The slits are great and talented musicians, their music is pretty unique, with that rich mix of dub-rocksteady-funk-punkrock-pop that nobody else has ever done so well. I missed them just for a few days on my last trip to glasgow, I'm wishing to see them live!

[@nikidijawen]

I love marvin song of "heard it through the grapevine" but the way the slits I didn't think I could like it but I do. so different but sticks to the feel.

[@Khultan]

@STARRBUCK1973 They were living in mixed and diverse community and were open minded way before forming The Slits. So, go figure...

[@Khultan]

[@djmirk]

Some women rock better than some men, some men rock better than some women--it's all relative--what the hell do you mean?
