I love Bad Brains, Fela, Japanoise, modern electronica, Brazillian sex
music, No Wave, John Coletrane, etc. etc, and was an original Slits fan
from back in the day-even was excited about Return of the Giant Slits
Afro-funk leanings, but dancehall just doesn't do it for me...but I
will defend to the death your right to like it... :)
As far a venues go, the Slits came out of the rock milieu and would
likely attract as many, if not more, rock fans than, say, hardcore
dancehall fans...
