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.
Discography:

Smell Me (PolyGram / Scrape Sound, 1996)
Luftganja (Indies Records, 1999)
Now they are preparing a new album.
3) A third band called Slut is actually an avant-garde collective of New York and Japanese musicians and improvisers, with a self-titled cd released in 1993 on God Mountain records. Musicians involve included Bradford Reed, Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins, Steve Ito, Acheilux, Marc Ribot, Jane Scarpntoni, Mark Anthony Thompson and Hoppy Kinayama. It's noteable for being one of the earliest cd's to feature the unusual acoustic sounds of Reed's invented pencillina instrument, and Acheilux's uniquely androgynous vocals.
Lost Emotion
Slut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everyday in a letter
that we give it all up and give us all away
it's gotta make us feel sad
but the sadder the better
we gotta find us a place in timerace to stay
we're under heavy attack
with a lot of affection
we gotta keep it all back for a better protection
haven't you seen, haven't you heard: we're straight-lined
we gotta do it for love
we gotta do this for love
we gotta do it for love
to live it all up
the lost emotion
we gotta think we're on fire
in a big celebration
baby you are the one and only
we gotta get prepared for the next separation
gotta sit us at home with no phone
lonely
we gotta do it for love
we gotta do this for love
we gotta do it for love
to live it all up
the lost emotion
the lost emotion
the lost emotion
The song Lost Emotion by the band Slut is a powerful expression of the complexities and contradictions of love. The lyrics describe the experience of being deeply in love and feeling the need to proclaim it to the world, while also acknowledging the fear and sadness that come with vulnerability. The singers declare that they must "give it all up" and "give us all away" in order to fully embrace their love, even though this may make them feel sad. At the same time, they acknowledge that keeping some things private and protected is necessary for the survival of their love.
The chorus repeats the phrase "we gotta do it for love" three times, emphasizing the idea that love is worth sacrificing for. The lost emotion referred to in the title could be interpreted as either the joy and excitement of falling in love, which can feel overwhelming and difficult to hold onto, or the vulnerability and fear of exposing oneself to another person, which can be quickly lost in the face of rejection or separation. Ultimately, the message of the song seems to be that love is worth risking everything for, even when it means giving up control and exposing oneself to pain.
