Gits documentary coming to theaters
if you don't have you some gits in your collection, get some!
The documentary film The Gits has been confirmed for a theatrical release on July 7, the 15th memorial anniversary of death of lead singer Mia Zapata.
Screenings will take place throughout the US and Canada throughout the month. Click below for a list of theaters screening the film. The Gits,
described as "part musical history and part murder mystery," was directed by Kerri O'Kane and produced by Jessica Bender, Danny Goldberg, and Gits
drummer Steve Moriarty. More information can be found at http://www.TheGitsMovie.com.
The Gits were a Seattle-based four-piece punk band that formed in 1986, releasing their debut album Frenching The Bully in 1992. By the summer of 1993
the band began recording their follow up, titled Enter: The Conquering Chicken. Popular in the Pacific Northwest and poised to break nationally, the
band's career was tragically ended with the rape and murder of frontwoman Mia Zapata in July of 1993. The murder went unresolved for years until the
2002 arrest and 2004 conviction of her killer.

I never heard of this. That is terrible. I will definitely check it out. I wonder if this will make its way to CLEVO?
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

The Gits was such an awesome band. Possibly my favorite female-fronted rock band.
I also highly recommend picking up the Evil Stig album. Joan Jett hooked up with The Gits after Mia's murder for a series of fund raising shows and
this absolutely amazing album. The record is punk as shit and among the greatest things Joan Jett has ever done.
