The band was formed in 1995 by Christian Neuburger (vocals, guitar), Matthias Neuburger (drums), Rainer Schaller (guitar) and Gerd Rosenacker (bass guitar). After they had recorded their first album, René Arbeithuber (keyboard, vocals) joined.
From 1997 to 1998 they lived and recorded in a castle near Ingolstadt with René and Rainer's band, 'Pelzig'.
In February 2005 they took part in the Bundesvision Song Contest, playing their song 'Why Pourqoui?' They received few votes and finished twelfth out of sixteen competitors.
Slut was asked to do the musical support for an adaption of "Die Dreigroschenoper" (The Threepenny Opera) by the theater of Ingolstadt. After several successful showings they decided to record the whole music, but due to copyright problems (the Weill-Foundation holds the rights until 2020) Slut could only release an EP with 5 songs on it, including the popular song "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"(Mack the Knife).
So far Slut is yet to appear live in Britain or the USA, despite several extensive European tours to Romania, The Czech Republic, Italy and France.
2) Second band called Slut was born in 1991. The band is from Prague (Czech Republic) and belongs to founders of Czech noise / hardcore.

Musicians involve included Bradford Reed, Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins, Steve Ito, Acheilux, Marc Ribot, Jane Scarpntoni, Mark Anthony Thompson and Hoppy Kinayama.

Falling Down
Slut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one around
Been shattered to the bone
Underground
What am I waiting for
Very strange
To reach another shore
Nothing's ever changed
This ain't no state of mind
When everything gets red
I'm trying to be kind
Sort of different head
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me
Why is it up to me
Is it always
Falling to pieces instead
A hundred memories
Forget
I've been through
Which voice was loud enough
To push my thoughts
I'm not that rough
Quickly caught
This ain't no state of mind
When everything gets red
I'm trying to be kind
Sort of different head
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me
Why is it up to me
Why is it always up to me
This ain't no state of mind
When everything gets red
I'm trying to be kind
Sort of different head
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me falling down
Can you hear me
The song "Falling Down" by Slut is an introspective and reflective piece about the singer's struggle with mental health and the overwhelming feeling of being alone. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels shattered and underground, indicating a sense of being buried deep within themselves. The first verse states, "Why am I here around, no one around, been shattered to the bone, underground" which alludes to the singer feeling isolated and disconnected from their surroundings.
The chorus "Can you hear me falling down, can you hear me falling down, can you hear me falling down, can you hear me. Why is it up to me, is it always" is a desperate plea for someone to acknowledge their struggle and offer support. The singer feels as though they are falling apart, and no one is there to catch them. The line "why is it up to me, is it always" suggests that the singer may feel a sense of responsibility for their mental health, causing an added layer of guilt and pressure.
The second verse touches on the singer trying to forget a hundred memories and searching for a voice that is loud enough to push their thoughts. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the singer's plea for help.
