B-Sides

It's SLits TrADition (and it's Halloween!)

A Look at the Career of PUnk ROck's Daughter, Ari UP aka Medusa

In a long roster of gal groups to really impact any given music scene,
London's The Slits definitely count strongly among the best. The Slits
don't really belong to London though; somehow it makes more sense to
say the world because no other group in the first generation UK punk
scene synthesized so many different influences and did it well. No,
not even the Clash. That could be debated but one thing's for certain,
if anything they are the Clash's female analog.

From Diana Ross' Love Jones to Grace Jones to Lee Scratch Perry to the
Funky Four + 1, and let's ad a splash of the Sex Pistols (After all,
that was Ari Ups Step Dad), there's a little something for everyone to
be enjoyed in Slits music as well as Ari Up's solo work.

I won't go over Ari Up's entire career because it is covered in the radio
show which will be aired on Halloween night on, CKUT 90.3 FM and available
for download the next day. However, I will highlight some aspects that figure
into Ari Ups musical mish-mash of influences.

New York City at some point in time seems to be part of everyone's "story"
and it was no different for Ari Up.

After the Slits did two albums within four years, Cut and Return of the Giant
Slits the group called it a day. Palmolive aka Paloma Romero went on to do
another influential gal rock outfit, the Raincoats. Until this day Up expresses
regret that Return went for the most part, under the radar. Starting out as the
daughters of punk and wearing that moniker superbly when the formed in 1976, by
their second album, the slits were essentially a dub act.

Up went on to work with the New Age Steppers, a post punk group to which she
contributed vocals. After 2 years this gout dissolved. Up also maenad percussive
contributions to the Talking Heads Fear of Music album as well.

Up moved to New York where she immediately connected with the sounds of early
hip hop that were coming out the scene at the time. She was also absorbing the
flavors of the Lower East side and living with Neneh Cherry. Tiny Weymouth from
the Talking Heads lived in the flat above.
