Also worth investigating if interested in the Slits is the Don Letts Punk Rock Movie, where Letts filmed the Slits in practice sessions I would like to see the slits in practice session.
combination of reggae and punk stylings with a feminist approach to rock musicI will skip the music.
I wonder if it's really them on the cover. Anyway they're 25 years older now.

Practicing what, in peculiar?

Well, that rules out seeing them live in concert, but maybe their daughters have taken over the business.
Who were you quoting, anyway? Or do I have Alzheimer's already :confused:

Feminism, "punk rock" and reggae are all very indecent.
They played sell-out concerts as recently as last year, to my knowledge.

Who can't sell out doing a gig at a convalescent home?

When the band formed in 1976, none of the members could play instruments very well, but thanks to the punk movement of the time, that was no impediment to their musical creation.
That about sums it up. :D

Cut has minimal instrumentation, with heavy emphasis on vocals and percussion, but it works. The producer, Dennis Bovell, came from a reggae background, and this is evident in the recording.
They obviously couldn't play hydraulic- and purcussion instruments very well either, otherwise they would have gone farther up the ladder than they did
