| Initially
The Slits featured Suzi Gutzy on bass who left to form The Flicks. Kate
Korus (real name Korris) thought up the name 'The Slits' and
was on guitar for the first gig at the Harlesden Coliseum with The
Clash 11/3/77 and at the Roxy Club. Viv Albertine was to be second guitarist but Kate
left two weeks before The Clash White Riot tour.
