THE GITS Documentary To Premier This Friday

July 2, 2008

According to The Seattle Times, "The Gits", a lively and engaging documentary about one of the more noteworthy rock outfits to emerge from Seattle in the early '90s, will premier Friday at Northwest Film Forum. The release coincides with the 15th anniversary of what many think of first when remembering THE GITS: the murder of the band's iconic lead singer, Mia Zapata. The notorious crime went unsolved for 10 years, but that's not what drummer Steve Moriarty or the film's director, Kerri O'Kane, want to memorialize. Most important to them is the music.

"The Seattle thing was more of a heavy-metal garage-rock revival, and we were more of an English-style pop-punk band," Moriarty says of THE GITS' brand. "That style later became huge with bands like GREEN DAY and OFFSPRING, but back then it was really small compared to the Sub Pop scene. Sub Pop was a rather exclusive little clique because they were one of the few labels that had money."
