Slant 6 was an all-female punk rock/riot grrrl trio based in Washington, D.C.
The group consisted of Christina Billotte (electric guitar and vocals), Myra Power (electric bass guitar and vocals), and Marge Marshall (drum set and trumpet), and formed in July 1992 following the 1991 breakup of Autoclave, in which Billotte had played. The group took their name from an in-line six cylinder engine produced in the 1960s and 1970s by Dodge for the Chrysler Motor Company.
Slant 6 recorded for the Dischord label and toured the United States several times, and England once. The group broke up in November 1995. Later, Billotte was joined by sister Mira in the folk-tinged garage/indie trio Quix*O*Tic, which released one LP; when they disbanded, Christina formed The Casual Dots with ex-Bikini Kill member Kathi Wilcox.| |
