About The Shaggs

The Shaggs were an American all-female rock band formed in the late 1960s by sisters Dot, Betty, and Helen Wiggin. The band, based in Fremont, New Hampshire, gained a cult following for their outsider music style. They released their debut album, 'Philosophy of the World,' in 1969, which has since been noted for its raw and unconventional sound.

The Shaggs' music often delves into themes of human dissatisfaction, exploring the pressures and discontentment that come with societal expectations. Their lyrics reflect a deep sense of universal envy and the struggle to conform to societal norms, making their work resonate with listeners who feel out of place in structured environments.
