The Shaggs

Meg White before her big break.

Yeah, and that’s Jack on the left.

Were these guys the worship band for the Jim Jones cult?

A family of squirrels lives in their hair.

Many couches and curtains died to make their clothes.

Hey, back-off!

They’re my first choice poster girls for that anti-promiscuity campaign I’m planning on campus this year.

So… Cousin Itt had children…

 
Ian Says:

Christopher–impeccable choice. Abstinence is the only option after seeing this cover.

 
Russ Says:

Stunning album. Has to be heard.

Sadly, I believe the drummer died, having suffered with psychiatric issues for very many years. But the other two Shagg sisters occasionally still perform. There may be a fourth Shagg sister, or a cousin, who features on a couple of tracks.

The story behind The Shaggs is a doozy.

You guys should also check out Hasil Adkins ‘Poultry In Motion’ ( A best of CD) The late Hasil was a kind of prototype for Seasick Steve. Often arrested, usually drunk, the subject of many of his songs expresssed his love of eating chicken, hence the album title.

 
Ben Says:

‘Poultry In Motion’ will definitely be on our hit list this next month. Thanks for the tip!

 
christopher Says:

The album is actually amazing, and that’s the truth. FZ has it high on his list. Its worth checking out.

 
Barney Says:

Austin Powers gold members.

 
Dave Bailey Says:

Frank Zappa was a fan of these girls.
