VIV ALBERTINE formerly guitarist and main song writer with The Slits returns to music after a break of 25 years. VIV, who performed last year at The Slits first reunion dates has opted for a solo career. She has an EP ready for release in the new year to be followed early summertime by an album. The new material is beautifully uncomplicated, stripped down and raw. "I LOVE Viv Albertine's CD ....It's everything you'd want to hear from The Slits 2009."
