notes

THE GITS second studio album. It was completed just before the murder of singer, Mia Zapata. Enter: The Conquering Chicken is one of the most influential underground rock albums of the time. It has inspired artists like Joan Jett and Indigo Girls and Pearl Jam, Sleater Kinney, Le Tigre, Rancid and The Pinkos.

This album is a fresh release of The Git's second full length release. Singer Mia Zapata was murdered during the original mixing. This edition is remixed by famed (Nirvana) producer Jack Endino and re-mastered by John Golden. This is a passionate, melodic album featuring a great punk band cut down in their prime.

The Gits formed in 1986 in Yellow Springs Ohio and blossomed in Seattle until 1993. Mia Zapata was murdered in July of 1993. The killer was caught after a ten year man-hunt and is on trial in Seattle at the time of writing this bio.

  • Named my Daughter Mia

    SAw em two times in early 90's. One of the best! viva zapata...buy it all.

  • Rare CD in that you never have to hit "Next."
    author: Erin

    This CD is great, but I like this one especially for the live tracks at the end. I can tell that if I had first heard them at the X-Ray Cafe opening with "Sign of the Crab" I would have been an instant fan (like I was when I saw them on "Hype" nearly 10 years ago). This CD has a great sound instrumentally and vocally. The lyrics are also of extremely high quality. I also want to point out that I am not a fan just because of the singer's death. In fact, the only song that is effected by that at all for me is "A Change is Gonna Come" because it was played at the trial, so I can't help but get a little emotional hearing, "...Momma, Momma I am down on my knees...".

  • Why?
    author: Steve(England)

    Hard to believe that it takes a documentry about Mias death to push this band to the forefront of modern cult bands no doubt after the two albums i have heard Mia Zappata will live on with the likes of Jimi Hendrix Ian Curtis and even Bob Marley for her lyrics and her unique voice she makes your hair stand on end.BRILLIANT.

  • AMAZING!
    author: Amy

    I found some tracks of this CD online and listened to them non-stop before getting the money to buy this record. It is simply amazing, the first CD I purchased in a LONG time where I can pop it into my CD player and let it play without skipping over any tracks. I can't wait to save up my money to buy their other records!

  • One of the best CDs ever.
    author: Daren

    I've been sitting here for ten minutes trying to describe Mia's voice - it's special. The music is good and the live tracks make you wish you were there.

  • hell yeah! thanks for great stuff!

  • Excellent!

    This is my first Gits CD, and I thought it was awesome. This band truly has a lot of talent. I wish the remaining members the best of luck in their future endeavors. A true talent was lost with the demise of their singer.

  • I can't believe they aren't better known
    author: andy veres

    This was the cd that got me into the band, and the new version has re-envigorated my love for them, along with Frenching the Bully. This cd is like a mix of punk music, janis joplin's singing, and poety from the likes of frank o'hara and dylan thomas. The drinking song still blows me away. Buy this now. You won't be sorry.

  • AWESOME!!

    author: Goregirl

    Finally, it's here!!! The Gits - Enter the Conquering Chicken re-released with bonus tracks! This is one of my all time favorite cds. Mia's voice soares over the grungy guitars & pounding drums. Very raw, very honest. Definately buy it....right now!

  • familiar, real, passionate, urgent, simply insightful
    author: toadtrott

    awesome newly-released recordings are even better than the ones you've heard before!

  • Great tunes by a great band! My favorite of their releases.
    author: Thom Freeman

    Love this disk even more than the rest of The Gits stuff. Really rocks but has some more memorable melodies too. Most all of my favorite Gits tunes are on this one.

  • VERY pleasantly surprised...
    author: kim

    this is the first time i ordered from CD Baby. didn't really know what to expect. can't believe the service! immediately received confirmation of my order & was kept informed via email every step of the way. it seemed like i just placed the order when the package showed up on my doorstep. very good experience. would definitely recommend.

  • Simply amazing!
    author: Sim G

    This CD is such an interesting mix of blues and punk. None of the songs sound quite the same. Mia Zappata is incredible! She was a true talent. This CD is worth the money. The samples they provide are good, but they really don't give you an idea of how amazing an experience the whole CD is.

  • amazing! voice reminds me of patti smith
