from caroline coon's book:
"A year ago (approx. june 1976 - ww) Viv and Palmolive were rehearsing an
unnamed band with Jo Fall and Sarah Hall, the girlfriends of the Sex Pistols'
lead guitarist and drummer, Steve Jones and Paul Cook. They were looking for a
lead singer when they heard that Sid Vicious fancied himself as a front man of
an all-girl band. For a few weeks, under Sid's working title of "Flowers of
Romance", they rehearsed together. Then Jo dropped out. And Sid decided to sack
Sarah first and then Palmolive. He and Viv worked together with Keith Levine,
who had been the Clash's third guitarist. But eventually Sid sacked Viv too, He
is now playing bass for the Sex Pistols. By then Palmolive had recovered her
confidence. She joined forces with Kate Chorus (sic), who thought of the name
"the Slits". The met Arri (sic) Up at a Patti Smith concert and invited her on
the spot to be their lead singer. Kate left. Eventually Viv and Tessa completed
the line-up. "
Kate was definitely gone probably before '77 began. the slits photos in the
book from june '77 have ari, viv, tessa and palmolive.
