Toasting The Slits, Lizzy Mercier DesCloux and Basqiuat's "Gray"

Welcome 2011!...and to the Wee Hour Review broadcast live on CKUT 90.3 FM with your host Tim Taylor - LISTEN HERE
On the roster:

1. Slits Tribute: Previously unaired, this show was prerecorded in October when we lost Ari Up from seminal Riott Grrl progenitors the Slits. For more on the Slits, scroll down to the October 29th blog posting on the Slits.
   
2. Remembering Paris' Lizzy Mercier deCloux - We unleash the biological warfare of Lizzy Mercier DesCloux with such New York No Wave inspired tracks as "Tumour" and "Herpes Simplex". DesCloux's career is further explored as she progresses into a broader range of sounds embodying Worldbeat. DesCloux evlolutions takes us from the Bahamas to Ethiopia to Brazil. DesCloux truly became an international, albeit little-known, artist culminating in a respectable body of work with such jazz greats as Chet Baker.
3. A brief description of the downtown art scene featuring Jean Michel's Basquat's band "Gray": in New York City, circa 1980: Art not only became a fashion but a huge commodity to be bought and sold--both art and artist nearly cannibalized. No sooner was the art snatched up by collectors than it was auctioned off at inflated prices, the artist sometimes discarded and career destroyed before it ever began. Organic beginnings were traded in for designer careers plunged into instant decadence and fame. Obscene amounts of cash exchanged hands, the East village and Soho were no longer discernible from the egregious hustling of Wall Street. Basquiat, among others, Julian Schnabel, Jenny Holzer and Keith Haring, were some of the artists at the right place at the right time. But some never made it out alive.

BRIGHT LIGHTS, MOTOR CITY – TECHNO SOUP TO FEED THE SOUL

From the mid to late 80s a storm was ‘a-brewing’ in the electrified air of Detroit City. Dust balls rolled through the vacant streets of Woodward Ave. in the wake of the ’67 riots. To the naked eye Detroit was a ghost town, a desert butte that was once an urban kingdom built for 4 000 000 with less than 1 000 000 inhabiting it. The city core suggested a profound vacancy, the kind that could only be brought on by an apocalypse. Taking a closer look, the pulse was stronger than ever…

Let Me Love You Down- Ready for the World

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.

Among her adopted homes New York, Kingston Jamaica and the Jungle's of Belize have all given Ari Up a corollary/artillery of sound that you can feel, taste and touch.

Thank you for The Slits, thank you Ari Up.
