Thanks to the videography of Matt Evenden & Chris Morris the adventures of The Gits are chronicled in far greater detail than their infamy deserves.

And the majority of surviving photographs, used for both the single of 1989 and CD of 2014, come via the lens of Rebecca Greenslade which were thankfully found in Jim’s loft or we’d have been left with the one shot of Ben writing graffiti on a building site.

Additional photo credits go to Jim himself and Cheryl Lenane, the latter for what no one is calling the ‘iconic’ shot of Ben bassing. It’s very probably ‘seminal’ as well.

NB. Video thumbnails for embedded Playlists only show if the YouTube API is used – which I haven’t – so they don’t. They will nonetheless still play. I am though slowly updating the videos to higher resolutions and combining each gig into a single file so thumbnails will begin to appear

A Greenpeace Benefit concert with support from The Perfect Shade.
Lay Off is an unrecorded Wedding Present song.

There has been some discussion that The Gits may have been influenced by the aforesaid but that’s balderdash and poppycock easily refuted by the fact that David Gedge is a known 70s Yes man whereas Das Gïts sound is steeped in Fish era Marillion.
