I created the SPiT LiKE THiS Universe with more than a little help from my partner in crime, ViKKi SPiT. We started off with absolutely nothing other than a few hair-brained ideas but, we seem to have captured some people's imaginations.
How do you start a whole Universe from scratch? Well, believe it or not, it started with the sale of Vikki's used panties on eBay. We used the funds from that to record and release the first SPiT LiKE THiS EP, "The Pop Shot!". We also set up our Offensive T-shirt company, SMELLYOURMUM.COM. The idea behind the latter was to provide us with enough income to eat and also fund SLT.
You know what? IT WORKED!
In the UK, SMELLYOURMUM.COM is the FiRST choice for anyone that wants decent, hand-printed, offensive T-shirts. I design them, Vikki prints them. Our overheads are low so the prices are low. Check them out (banner below) and buy something safe in the knowledge that you are funding Rock n Roll!
As for the band, well, we just go from strength to strength. Like with all artistic endeavors, you have moments in the light and moments in the shade but, on the whole, we are winning. It hasn't been easy but, we aren't going anywhere and there are enough people out there that give a shit about what we do to know that it has meaning.
SPiT LiKE THiS is the musical embodiment of everything that I am. I am not someone to fuck with and nor is my band. We are on a mission to recruit as many sick fucks as we can on our journey. Twisted people that want their buttons pushed. Twisted freaks that want to push people's buttons.
Is there any other way?
No. I have yet to witness another band that delights and angers in equal amounts. For everyone that loves us, you will find another that hates us. And that is the way it should be. The fact is, we are NOT trying to appeal to everyone. We are NOT trying to be the next this or the next that. We are the first SPiT LiKE THiS. We ARE the band your parents warned you about. We ARE for real.
Don't believe me? Then check us out. Banner is below.
And this is what my life is right now. My daily task is to entertain, enthrall, enlighten freaks like you and to outrage, anger, annoy everyone else.
So, why not become a part of it? You know you want to...
THANK YOU!
