The original female members were vocalist Ari Up (Ariana Foster), drummer Palmolive (Paloma Romera- who later left to join The Raincoats, guitarist Kate Korus and bassist Suzi Gutsy. Viv Albertine and Tessa Politt would later replace Kate and Suzi. Budgie (aka Pete Clarke, formerly of The Spitfire Boys and later to join Siouxsie and the Banshees was their male drummer when Palmolive left the band. They released their first album ‘Cut’ on Island Records in 1979, a Bootleg Retrospective on Rough Trade Y in 1980, and The Return Of The Giant Slits in 1981. Further releases since their initial split in 1981 are two sessions for the John Peel show released on Strange Fruit, In The Beginning: A Live Anthology 1977-1981, and Live At The Cibus Club. Ari Up, went on to help form, The New Age Steppers.

I'm aware of the history of the term, but I prefer to use it more generally as a descriptor for anti-patriarchal punk bands with female vocals. I thought riot grrl was generally understood as more of an stance/attitude/lifestyle than a chronological classification of a supposedly bygone era anyway. =/

Don't people realize that "riot grrl" was only used to refer to 1990s bands within a specific scene? Christ. It isn't a freaking label for ALL female punk/rock.

The Slits should've reformed at the height of riot-grrrl to show the Americans how its done.
