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:
Sex Sucks (Scrape Sound, 1993)
Get Some Slut...Or Fuck Yourself (Scrape Sound, 1994)
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.
Postcard No. 17
Slut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Postcard No. 17" by Slut are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. It seems like the song is about a person who is reflecting on a past relationship or a past event that has left him with mixed feelings. The first line of the song mentions "an ordinary swimming suit and an extra one for you and me", which could suggest a nostalgia for simpler times. The singer also mentions "some helpless lines night by night and a postcard nr.17", which could refer to a series of letters or postcards exchanged between two people, perhaps during a summer romance or a long-distance relationship.
The singer seems to be questioning the authenticity of this relationship, suggesting that "the one that wasn't meant for me sometimes as well as sometimes not, but at least I'm sure this couldn't be the same". He also mentions "some salty pages nicky-named with a post-script telling not to cry", which could suggest that the relationship ended in heartbreak or disappointment. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "dressing up to go, my jacket for the show 17 below, oh I hope you'll never know", could indicate that the singer is trying to put on a brave face and move on from this relationship, despite lingering feelings of sadness or regret.
Overall, "Postcard No. 17" is a deeply introspective song that explores the complicated emotions that can arise from a past relationship. The lyrics are somewhat abstract and cryptic, which allows listeners to bring their own interpretations and experiences to the song.
