On THE GITS by the fans

Vicky Bandit of Grim Dylan on Mia Zapata

My Name is Vicky Bandit, I can’t tell you how much The Gits have changed my life, I am so fucking in love with your music….I hate filming myself but I’ve attatched my Mia tattoo, if there’s anyone I want with me for the rest of my life it’s her. Her voice, her words….I can’t…

Hanna Vacek talks about The Gits

A friend of mine introduced me to the Gits probably from 7 or 8 years ago. However, I didn’t seriously delve into heir material until 2009. I was immediately in love with he passion and rawness of Mia’s voice, and the over all tightness and soul the band as a whole processed. I previously was not a…

Thinking of you today as I do every other Mia. You inspire me and your music has brought me to life. I hope all the people who got to know you in life understand how truly lucky they are. I wish I could have been one of them. I'll always think of you and listen to your music. Rest peacefully beautiful soul. Love always, Holly

I would LOVE to hear any other recordings of the Gits and Mia's solo performances. Or anything that's available really. Including any interviews she may have done if someone has a copy of them. She seems like a really amazing person from everything I've read about her and the Gits. She had to have been to have so many people fighting to keep her memory alive after 20 years.

This is hard for me to write.Mia Zapata was born the same year as I was and my daughter Jasmine Cherise Curiosity Armour and she were the same age when they were murdered.Mia Zapata was one of the people my daughter most admired,my daughter who hopped freight trains and wrote great songs that were always in her backpack and it disappeared when she was murdered in Buffalo,NY 2/10/2011 and all her books of poetry.I got her acoustic/electric mini-martin guitar and her dog back.The stupid cops threw her dog Sally in jail because she wouldn't leave her body.She is a very nice dog.She did not even bite the murderers for fuck's sake.I got her guitar back from these nice anarchist kids that liberated it from the crime scene of her house,they lived at the Bird House.People say bad stuff about them,but they gave me her guitar and helped me get her dog back alive.Anyway,Jasmine always had musical projects going on and sometimes on Halloween and New Years did the lead in a Gits cover band.Jasmine always wrote all the lyrics for any band she was in.She lived in Seattle for a while and called me one night very,very upset,from a bar and I can't remember the name,but it was the bar that she hung out at,every town worth a damn has a place like that,I used to work at one in DC called Back Alley when she was a little kid...so I guess she always felt at home in the place where people likeminded hung out,anyway,she started telling me about Mia Zapata,her role model,and how could a thing like that happen...and she drank too much when she was sad,and I am rambling on a keyboard but somehow I think somebody somewhere on the other end maybe understands.Jasmine's mom,Cathy ps,the 1st concert she ever went to was before she was 1 and it was the Dead Kennedys the real ones,WITH Jelloe4
