'''The Gits''' were an American [[punk rock]] band formed in [[Yellow Springs, Ohio]], in 1986.<ref name="Joan Jett bio">{{cite book|title=Bad Reputation: The Unauthorized Biography of Joan Jett|year=2011|publisher=[[Backbeat Books]]|location=Milwaukee, Wis.|isbn=9780879309909|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lGIqxglW29cC&dq=%22Frenching+the+Bully%22&pg=PA196|author=Dave Thompson|author-link=Dave Thompson (author)|accessdate=May 7, 2012|page=195}}</ref><ref name="Cinderella's Big Score">{{cite book|title=Cinderella's Big Score: Women Of The Punk And Indie Underground|publisher=[[Seal Press]]|isbn=9781580051163|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8-NGokpBxFcC&dq=%22Frenching+the+Bully%22+gits&pg=PA165|author=Maria Raha|author-link=Maria Raha|accessdate=May 7, 2012|page=165|date=December 31, 2004}}{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> As part of the burgeoning [[music of Seattle|Seattle music scene]] of the early 1990s, they were known for their fiery live performances. Members included singer [[Mia Zapata]], guitarist Andy Kessler (aka Joe Spleen), bassist Matt Dresdner, and drummer Steve Moriarty.<ref name="Jeffries">Jeffries, Vincent "[http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-gits-p39055/biography The Gits Biography]", [[Allmusic]], retrieved May 7, 2012</ref> They dissolved in 1993 after the murder of Zapata.

During their existence, the band released two studio albums, one compilation of early recordings, one live recording, three 7" singles and appeared on various compilations. The band recorded on a few independent labels, and released its two studio albums on [[C/Z Records]]. In 2003, each release in the band's discography was remastered and expanded with bonus tracks on Broken Rekids.

==History==

===Formation and early history===
The Gits met and formed in 1986 at [[Antioch College]], a [[liberal arts]] school in Yellow Springs, Ohio.<ref name="MacDonald" /> They called themselves the 'Snivelling Little Rat Faced Gits' (a reference to a [[Monty Python]] skit), but soon shortened the moniker to just 'The Gits'.<ref name="Johnson" /> In 1988 they recorded and self-released their "unofficial" debut album entitled ''Private Lubs'' with the help of friend Ben London (later of [[Alcohol Funnycar]] and solo). These recordings did not see widespread release until 1996, when the album was reissued by the Broken Rekids label as ''[[Kings & Queens (The Gits album)|Kings & Queens]]''.<ref>{{cite news|last=Masuo|first=Sandy|title=Gits / Kings & Queens / Broken|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PC0EAAAAMBAJ&dq=%22mia+zapata%22&pg=PA38|accessdate=May 7, 2012|newspaper=[[CMJ New Music Monthly]]|page=38|date=December 1996}}</ref><ref name="Allmusic entry">{{cite web|title=Kings & Queens – The Gits|url=http://allmusic.com/album/kings--queens-r267646|work=Allmusic|accessdate=May 7, 2012}}</ref>

After relocating to [[Seattle, Washington]] in 1989, the band set up shop at "the Rathouse", an abandoned house in the [[Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington|Capitol Hill]] district where they rehearsed and lived.<ref name="MacDonald">MacDonald, Patrick (2005) "[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/entertainment/2002288805_rocksiff26.html "The Gits" explores punk family and tragic fate of Seattle rocker]", ''[[The Seattle Times]]'', May 26, 2005, retrieved May 7, 2012</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Yarm|first=Mark|title=Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge|publisher=Random House|isbn=9780307464446|pages=567|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z-44p7V2TrUC&dq=%22mia+zapata%22&pg=PA322|accessdate=May 7, 2012|date=March 13, 2012}}</ref> One of their first live shows in Seattle was at the [[University of Washington]] on January 6, 1990, in which they played on the same bill with [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] and [[Tad (band)|Tad]].<ref>{{cite news|title=The Gits|first=Adam|last=Tepedelen|work=The Rocket|page=10|date=January 1, 1992}}</ref> They quickly earned a following in the local scene and gained many friends, particularly in the city's punk rock community. During the early 1990s, buzz began surrounding the band, which caused some media outlets to erroneously lump them in with the then-burgeoning Seattle [[grunge music]] scene, and Zapata's persona led many{{who|date=April 2012}} to incorrectly associate The Gits with the [[Olympia, Washington]] [[riot grrrl|riot grrrl movement]].{{opinion|date=April 2012}}

The band's first official release was "Precious Blood", released by the local Big Flaming Ego Records. This single was quickly followed up by two more releases ("[[Second Skin (song)|Second Skin]]" on Broken Rekids (1991), "Spear & Magic Helmet" on Empty Records (1991), as well as the ''Bobbing For Pavement'' compilation (Rathouse/Broken Rekids, 1991).

In 1992 the band recorded and released their debut album, ''[[Frenching the Bully]]''.<ref name="Jeffries" />

In the spring of 1993, former music journalist and musician [[Tim Sommer]] had planned to sign The Gits to [[Atlantic Records]], where he was working in the A&R department. Sommer said he had made a deal to sign the Gits to Atlantic four days before Zapata's death.<ref name="sommer">{{cite web |last1=Sommer |first1=Tim |title=My Life in the Bush of Hootie: How I Signed the Biggest Band of 1995 |url=https://observer.com/2016/07/my-life-in-the-bush-of-hootie-how-i-signed-the-biggest-band-of-1995/ |website=Observer |access-date=30 January 2023 |date=14 July 2016}}</ref>

==Murder of Mia Zapata==
Shortly after 2:00 a.m. on July 7, 1993, Zapata left the [[Comet Tavern]], a dive bar in Capitol Hill that was a popular hangout for the Seattle music community. She stayed at a studio space in the basement of an apartment building located a block away, and briefly visited a friend who lived on the second floor. This was the last time Zapata was seen alive. She may have walked a few blocks west, or north to a friend's apartment, or may have decided to take the long walk south to her home.<ref name="community.seattletimes.nwsource.com">{{cite news |author=Alex Tizon|title=Who Murdered Mia Zapata?

Zapata had been beaten, raped, and strangled, and it is believed she encountered her attacker shortly after 2:15 a.m. Her body was not initially identified as she had no identification on her when she was found. An episode of ''[[Forensic Files]]'' revealed that she was identified after the medical examiner, who was a fan of the Gits and had been to their concerts, recognized her. According to the medical examiner, if she had not been strangled, she would have died from the internal injuries suffered from the beating.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unsolved.com/ajaxfiles/sol_mia_zapata.htm |title=mia zapata - An up and coming Seattle musician is murdered. |website=unsolved.com |publisher=Cosgrove-Meurer Productions, Inc |access-date=May 20, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521062501/http://www.unsolved.com/ajaxfiles/sol_mia_zapata.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2013}}</ref> According to court documents, an [[autopsy]] found evidence of a struggle in which Zapata suffered blunt impact to her abdomen and a lacerated liver.<ref name="boards.ancestry.com">[http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.obits2/48903/mb.ashx Ancestry.com]</ref> 

The [[Seattle Police Department]] initially focused their investigation on Zapata's circle of friends, believing that her murderer must have been someone she knew. Frustrated by the lack of progress in solving the case, the surviving members of the Gits, the Seattle music community, including some of its most famous bands such as [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[Pearl Jam]], and [[Soundgarden]], helped raise $70,000 generated from benefit concerts and record sales, as well as their own money. They hired private investigator Leigh Hearon to supplement the police department's investigation. The funds dried up without any major breaks in the case, but Hearon continued to investigate on her own time. In 1996, the case gained national attention on an episode of ''[[Unsolved Mysteries]]'', and was later highlighted on several television programs, including [[A&E Network|A&E's]] ''[[American Justice]]'', ''[[Cold Case Files]]'', ''[[City Confidential]]'', [[CBS]]'s ''[[48 Hours (TV series)|48 Hours]]'', [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX's]] ''[[America's Most Wanted]]'', and [[TruTV]]'s ''[[Forensic Files]]''. In 1998, after five years of investigation, Seattle police detective Dale Tallman said: "We're no closer to solving the case than we were right after the murder."<ref name="community.seattletimes.nwsource.com"/>

In December 2002, a random [[DNA]] test conducted by the Seattle Police Department's Cold Case Unit and the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory identified the perpetrator as 48-year-old fisherman Jesus Mezquia. Mezquia, who had come from [[Cuba]] in 1980 in the [[Mariel boatlift]], lived in Seattle at the time of Zapata's murder, and was arrested and charged for the crime in 2003 based on [[DNA profiling|DNA evidence]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Police-make-arrest-in-1993-Mia-Zapata-slaying-1105109.php | work=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]] | first1=Tracy | last1=Johnson | title=Police make arrest in 1993 Mia Zapata slaying | date=January 10, 2003}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=90806&page=1|title=Rocker Murder Arrest Reopens Old Wounds|website=ABC News|date=February 10, 2003}}</ref> A DNA profile was extracted from saliva found on a bite mark on Zapata's breast and kept in cold storage until the [[Short tandem repeat|STR technology]] was developed for full extraction.<ref name="Johnson">Johnson, Gene (2003) "[https://web.archive.org/web/20141011101119/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-9581110.html Florida Man Held for '93 Slaying of Punk Singer – Mia Zapata of The Gits was strangled in July 1993]", ''[[Yakima Herald-Republic]]'', January 12, 2003</ref> An original entry in June 2002 failed to generate a positive result, but Mezquia's DNA entered the national [[Combined DNA Index System|CODIS]] database after he was arrested in [[Florida]] for burglary and domestic abuse in 2002. Mezquia had a history of violence toward women including domestic abuse, burglary, assault, and battery. All of his ex-girlfriends, and his wife, had filed reports against him. There was also a report of indecent exposure on file against him in Seattle within two weeks of Zapata's murder. However, there was no known prior link between Mezquia and Zapata. 

Mezquia did not testify in his own [[defense (law)|defense]] and maintained his innocence. The prosecution theory was that he saw Zapata leave the bar and followed her a short distance before he attacked her. Her headphones covered her ears so she would have been unaware of any danger until he grabbed her and dragged her to his car, where he assaulted her in the back seat. On March 25, 2004, a jury convicted Mezquia of Zapata's murder and he was sentenced to 36 years in prison, the maximum allowed in the case under Washington state law.<ref name="JohnsonT">Johnson, Tracy (2004) "[https://archive.today/20130125064216/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-116137374.html Singer's Killer Gets 37 Years: Mia Zapata's Friends Fill Courtroom for Sentencing of Jesus Mezquia]", ''[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]'', May 1, 2004</ref> In August 2005, the state Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction, but reversed his sentence because the judge had exceeded the normal sentencing range without the jury's specific approval.

==Legacy==

===Home Alive===
In the aftermath of Zapata's murder, friends created a [[non-profit organization|non-profit]] [[self-defense]] group called [[Home Alive]], which organized [[benefit concert]]s and CDs with the participation of several bands, including [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[Pearl Jam]], [[Soundgarden]], [[Heart (band)|Heart]], and the [[The Presidents of the United States of America (band)|Presidents of the United States of America]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Breihan|first=Tom|title=Mia Zapata's Killer Sentenced for Good, Finally|url=http://pitchfork.com/news/34514-mia-zapatas-killer-sentenced-for-good-finally/|work=[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]]|accessdate=May 7, 2012|date=February 2, 2009}}</ref> The Home Alive group, which ceased operations in 2010, sought to empower women with ways to protect themselves against predators. They held a range of courses, from [[anger management]] and use of [[pepper spray]] to the [[martial arts]].<ref>[http://www.state51.co.uk/hottips/496/homealive.html Mia Zapata: Home Alive<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427220827/http://www.state51.co.uk/hottips/496/homealive.html |date=April 27, 2006 }}</ref>

===Dedications===
[[Portland, Oregon]]-based [[alternative rock]] band [[Everclear (band)|Everclear]] dedicated their 1993 album ''[[World of Noise]]'' to Zapata. The [[California]] [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]] band Retching Red included a Gits cover ("Spear and Magic Helmet") on their debut album ''Get Your Red Wings''. Also, the [[alt-country]] band [[Richmond Fontaine]] have a [[tribute]] song to the band, called "The Gits".

Punk rock band [[7 Year Bitch]], who were good friends and briefly label mates of The Gits, named their 1994 album ''[[¡Viva Zapata!]]'' in tribute to Mia Zapata. The album cover also featured a painting by artist Scott Musgrove featuring Zapata wearing bullet sashes. The song "M.I.A.", which explicitly deals with Zapata's death, appears on this album.

===Films===
In 1996, ''[[Hype!]]''—a documentary about the [[Seattle Sound|Seattle scene]], featuring The Gits—came out. Nine years later, in 2005, a movie chronicling the life of Mia Zapata during her time with The Gits was released. The final cut of the film was released theatrically in over 20 North American cities on July 7, 2008, the 15th memorial anniversary of Zapata's death. The following day saw the film released on DVD along with a ''Best of the Gits'' CD (both from Liberation Entertainment).

The story of the Gits was made into a "lively and engaging" documentary film,<ref name="Seattle Times documentary review">{{cite news|last=Fry|first=Ted|title=Mia Zapata, the Gits get their due in fan's documentary|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/movies/2008026219_gits01.html|accessdate=May 7, 2012|newspaper=[[The Seattle Times]]|year=2008}}</ref> titled simply ''The Gits'', and reflected a renewed interest in the band.<ref name="EW 2003: renewed interest">{{cite news|last=Sinclair|first=Tom|title=Viva Zapata|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,467437,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081005081820/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,467437,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 5, 2008|accessdate=May 7, 2012|newspaper=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=August 1, 2003}}</ref> The film, directed by Kerri O'Kane, had its first screenings in 2005 at the [[Seattle International Film Festival]].<ref name="MacDonald" /> A finalized version of the film was accepted and screened at the 2007 [[SXSW Film Festival|SXSW (South By Southwest) Film Festival]] held March 9–17, 2007, in [[Austin, Texas]]. In her review for [[NPR]], Sarah Bardeen found that "Above all, we fall for the music. Compared to many of their contemporaries, the Gits were instrumentally brilliant, playing fast, tight, classic punk rock which took a radical left turn when Zapata added her voice to the mix".<ref name="NPR documentary review">{{cite web|last=Bardeen|first=Sarah|title=The Gits' Mia Zapata Resurrected In Film|url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94322927|work=[[NPR]]|accessdate=May 7, 2012|date=September 5, 2008}}</ref>

==Related projects==
Following the posthumous completion of ''[[Enter: The Conquering Chicken]]'', Spleen formed a hardcore punk band called the Dancing French Liberals of '48, and later toured briefly with [[Poison Idea]].<ref name="Jeffries" /><ref name="Woodlief">Woodlief, Mark & Robbins, Ira "[http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=gits Gits]", ''[[Trouser Press]]'', retrieved May 7, 2012</ref> Dancing French Liberals of '48 featured all of the remaining Gits as well as longtime friend and guitarist Julian Gibson (ex-DC Beggars). Their music was, as expected, much in the vein of the Gits although with a more [[hardcore punk]] attitude. Together the Liberals issued an EP (''Scream Clown Scream'') and a full-length album (''Powerline'') on the Broken Rekids label before disbanding in the late 1990s.

Following Zapata's death, [[Joan Jett]] and [[Bikini Kill]] frontwoman [[Kathleen Hanna]] co-wrote a song (entitled "Go Home") inspired by Zapata's death. Jett also included a message at the end of her video for the song asking for any information anyone had in regard to Zapata's murder. After seeing the video the remaining members of the Gits approached Jett about touring with the band. Jett agreed as she had long been a fan of The Gits. The band renamed themselves [[Evil Stig]] (''Gits Live'' backwards), and toured in early 1995 playing a mix of Gits and Joan Jett songs, with a majority of the profits going towards Zapata's murder investigation.<ref name="Jeffries" /> A self-titled album was issued later in the year, again with a majority of the profits going towards the investigation.<ref>{{cite news|last=Stewart|first=Allison|title=Evil Stig Evil Stig|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Li0EAAAAMBAJ&dq=%22mia+zapata%22&pg=PT8|accessdate=May 7, 2012|newspaper=[[CMJ New Music Monthly]]|page=32|date=October 1995}}</ref><ref name="Marsh">Marsh, Steven P.

Moriarty later appeared in the [[punk rock]] band St. Bushmill's Choir as well as the more acoustic based Pinkos. In January 2012 Moriarty conducted a comprehensive audio interview with Music Life Radio about his life and career with extensive references to The Gits.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sauter|first=Dan|title=Drummer's Day: Steve Moriarty (1/2)|url=http://www.musicliferadio.com/2012/01/049-drummers-day-steve-moriarty-12/|publisher=Music Life Radio|date=January 15, 2012|accessdate=March 22, 2019}}</ref>
