The Gits’ second and final album Enter: The Conquering Chicken returns in a definitive remastered edition from Sub Pop. Originally released in 1994 after the tragic murder of frontwoman Mia Zapata, the record stands as a raw document of a band at their creative peak.
Formed in Ohio in 1986 before moving to Seattle in 1989, The Gits forged their own path with blues-driven punk and Mia’s commanding, soulful delivery. Produced with longtime ally Scott Benson, the album was recorded in 1993, later remixed by Jack Endino in 2003, and now remastered by Endino again in 2024.
Highlights include ‘Bob (Cousin O.)’, ‘Seaweed’, ‘The Drinking Song’, ‘Sign of the Crab’, and Zapata’s unforgettable rendition of Sam Cooke’s ‘A Change is Gonna Come’. This reissue features refreshed artwork and new liner notes by Tim Sommer. A landmark of Seattle punk, Enter: The Conquering Chicken celebrates The Gits’ enduring legacy while offering a glimpse of where they might have gone.
