Slits, The - Live At The Gibus Club (20Th Anniversary Reissue)

The Slits’ 'Live at the Gibus Club' is pure, unfiltered chaos. Recorded in Paris on 26 January 1978, it captures the band at their wildest—raw, untamed, and ready to explode. Just 14 years old, Ari-Up howls through “So Tough,” “Love and Romance,” and “Shoplifting” like she’s starting a riot. Palmolive (drums), Viv Albertine (guitar), and Tessa Pollitt (bass) slash and pound through a jagged, off-the-rails set that feels like it could collapse at any moment. The crowd is tense, the banter is sharp, and the energy is electric. This isn’t just a live album—it’s a time capsule of pure punk fury. Essential.
