REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE 'THE SLITS: HERE TO BE HEARD' w/ KT Kincaid
This week, we talked to musician and vital member of the late 70s/early 80s Portland Punk Scene, KT Kincaid, who picked the incredible doc, THE SLITS HERE TO BE HEARD. We discussed her and her sister’s importance in the creation of the punk scene, their band NEO BOYS (whose recordings were reissued on K Records), discovering Bowie, seeing punkers before hearing punk, the rarity of finding punk records, picking the bass guitar over other instruments, nobody sounding like The Slits & the genius of Viv Albertine’s guitar playing, being in a band with your sister, getting 50 people to come to a show, the video for ‘Earthbeat’, The Flowers Of Romance, the punk collective mindset & loyalties in the punk scene, opening for Television, practicing non-stop in your first band & taking it so seriously, pooling money to buy records, the violence towards the early punk scene, the gang mentality of being in a band, the magic of chance meetings, getting pissed at the Guardian’s review of this documentary, and Chris reads the minutes from one of the Portland punk collective’s meetings from the late 70s.
Nothing typical here as we dive into this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
