London-based all-girl post-punk quintet the Slits got their big break when they nabbed an opening spot on the Clash's 1977 White Riot tour. The band favored more innovative, experimental takes on punk than its peers — its only two studio albums, 1979's landmark Cut and 1981's Return of the Giant Slits, melded reggae and dub with funky, dance-friendly tempos and brash, snarling vocals. In 2006, the re-formed group released a three-song EP, Revenge of the Killer Slits, and toured the country opening for Sonic Youth. Tonight, the Slits — who sound more reggae-fied than ever — hit up Subterranean with Old Time Relijun, Shellshag, and Post Honeymoon.
