Mia Zapata was the greatest rock singer of her time. She may well have been the greatest blues singer in punk rock history, the woman who married the 78 and the '78. Tragedy did not make this true. Mia Zapata made this true, and the ferocious, spring-loaded shrapnel frame that was built around her by Andy Kessler (guitar: metronomic and furious), Matt Dresdner (bass: fluid, punching, beat-addicted and melodic), and Steve Moriarty (drums: martial and explosive) - who, with Mia, combined to form The Gits - made it true. The Gits were formed at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio in mid-1986, grabbing and swapping pieces of art, thrash, noise, punk rock, classic rock, and all the sorts of magical silly and bookish jingle bells that an old-school liberal arts education handed you; for the next few years they worked on turning it all into something tough, sensitive, both brutal and kind. Andy, Matt, Mia, and Steve moved to Seattle in middish 1989, landing in a house on Capitol Hill where they (and fellow travelers) wood-shedded and rehearsed for the next few years. The Gits put out three EPs in 1990 and '91 before signing with C\/Z Records and releasing their first full-length album, Frenching the Bully. Seattle quickly claimed the quartet as their own and embraced the Gits blend of ferocious fangs and soft heart, the slug\/slap of the guitars, and the gorgeous, soft underbelly of the poetic emotions. These qualities not only fit in with the doe-eyed\/sharp-clawed grunge ethos but earned the Gits the respect of their peers, including Nirvana, who tapped them to open a major local show in 1990. Then other stuff happened, and their frantic, confessional barbed-heart snowball began rolling up hill very, very fast; the Gits \"quickly\" (Hah! After half a decade learning to implode and explode hearts and stomping their boots on manifold beer-softened, Marlboro-weeded wood stages!) inspired rapture, awe, and the levitation that happened when peak emotion meets peak grindage in front of amps spitting out something that sounded like the mad marriage of Bolan swagger and Dischord tension... all fronted by a genuinely incomparable woman who held her heart in her mouth and shared it, in all it's celebration and fear, without hesitation. The Gits were an angry, inflamed slinky fully in tune with and tuned by the Bessie Patti Smith of her time, truly the only singer who could summon Joplin, Poly Styrene, Sam Cooke, Iggy Pop and Ian MacKaye all in the same goddamn song. In 1993, less than four weeks after accepting an offer from Atlantic Records, Mia died. I leave it at that, because this is not about death; it's about an extraordinary life. I do not say, \"You should have been there,\" I say, \"We are lucky so many of us were, and I am so glad we have this extraordinary evidence of the power and gifts of Mia and the Gits that you now can hold in your hands.\" And I note that Frenching the Bully, this extraordinary testament to the soul, shock, fury and feeling of the Gits, has been long out of print on vinyl and CD, and this new edition - remastered by legendary Seattle engineer Jack Endino - joyfully rectifies that. -Tim Sommer\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e02\/27\/2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eSUB-164800\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cb\u003e098787164831\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cb\u003eThe Gits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cb\u003eSub Pop\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePunk \/ Metal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Super D","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43011229810749,"sku":"PNK-G-098787164831","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4478867-3505076.jpg?v=1771947487"},{"product_id":"the-gits-etcetera-black-white-swirl-vinyl-confirm-color","title":"The Gits - Etcetera [Black \u0026 White Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eCurated exclusively for Record Store Day 2026, Sub Pop and The Gits present Etcetera, a thirteen song collection of unreleased material by Mia Zapata and The Gits. This limited edition LP features live tour recordings, rare solo performances by Mia Zapata - including covers of Bessie Smith, Iggy \u0026amp; The Stooges, and even James Taylor. Etcetera is the definitive Gits collectors piece hand selected by the band from their personal vault. The Gits formed in 1986 at Antioch College in Ohio, and moved together to Seattle in 1989 as the world was taking notice of the burgeoning scene there. Although their raucous, blues-infused punk powered by Mia's indelible vocals didn't quite fit the mold being cast by their Pacific Northwest peers, The Gits quickly found a tight foothold and built a strong following. Tragically, Mia Zapata was murdered in July of 1993, just having returned to Seattle from a successful west coast tour and while The Gits were recording their second studio album. Enter: The Conquering Chicken, which was eventually released on C\/Z Records the following year. In addition to the unusual cover songs and Mia Zapata solo performances on Etcetera, this new album also includes live versions of recognizable Gits songs recorded when the band was at their finest.
