Ari Up from The Slits RIP

[Brazoo]

Okay - so she wasn't very famous - but some of you might remember the influential all female british dub loving punk group, The Slits.

Ari Up was also Johnny Rotten's wife.

Their classic album "Cut" is a favourite of mine.

Here are a couple of tracks I really enjoy:

The Slits were pretty famous in the punk movement from the late 70's.

Johnny was Ari's stepdad.

Wow, only 48 and undisclosed illness.
RIP, Ari. :(

Gahh - That's right. I totally remembered wrong!

48 is too young.

I was just looking at their reunion album in a store the other day considering picking it up.
