The Shaggs--the Musical!

The girl band The Shaggs, famous for being bad, are the subjects of a musical at an L.A. theater in November. Buy your tickets here for the show:

POWERHOUSE THEATRE COMPANY
THE SHAGGS: PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD
A musical play by Joy Gregory
with music by Gunnar Madsen

World Premiere


The Shaggs is the strange but true story of one of the worst bands in rock 'n roll history - a real-life, so-called "outsider" girl group that played in and around their home town of Fremont, New Hampshire during the late '60s and early '70s. The Shaggs' first album, "Philosophy of the World", was recorded before the girls knew how to play their instruments and, with the attention of Frank Zappa and NRBQ, it has since become a cult classic. John Langs directs.
