And finally, if we are slow in reporting it, it is only because we've been at a loss as to what to say. Ari Up, legendary front woman of The Slits passed away October 20th. Ari Up started her musical career at just 14, and was touring with the Clash before she hit 20. Her energy and passion have been a bright beacon in the Punk and reggae scenes throughout the years, and she was an inspiration to many more than she'll ever know. She will be sadly missed.
