Biography

Taking their name from a Dodge engine, Slant 6 emerged on the Washington DC scene in the summer of 1992. Made up of Myra Power (Lucky 13), Christina Billotte (Autoclave), and Marge Marshall, they went into the studio and produced a three song single for Dischord in 1993, and toured the U.S. for much of that year. Their first album, Soda Pop Rip Off, was recorded in Washington DC, and was produced by longtime Dischord mainstay Don Zientara and Fugazi guitarist Ian MacKaye. A second album, Inzombia, and a split 7- inch single were released in 1995. After breaking up in 1995, Myra Power played with Tarot Bolero, and Marge Marshall started her own fashion line, called Babyteeth. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide

Slant 6 was an all-female punk rock 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); it 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.

Slant 6 is not affiliated with the novelty group Slant 6 and the Jumpstarts.
