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.
