What's So Great about This Band?: The Shaggs!
 

I heard someone say they are the first "outsider art" band. I'm sure there has to be others, but I can't think of them now.

They are so wrong they are right.

So prepare yourself to have the Uggs blown off your feet.

My Pal Foot Foot - The Shaggs

Definitely unassailable

I heard from a reputable source one of them gave birth to Frownland, and the other two are his aunts.

I would deny that but my aunts are pretty weird. I'll ask.

On a serious note, this is definitely my favourite project that Nico has been involved with.

My favorite project of Nico is:


BTW The reason I can tell you're from Rock royalty is cause I am too. I am the secret love child of Nico and Brian Jones. That makes me genetically predisposed not only to have blond hair and also the inability to sing or swim. I would not lie to you mate. Chula Vista is the result of a torrid love affair between Jimmy Page and Mama Case. As a kid Chula would go around the school lunch room stealing other kids' sandwiches.

Hmmm. The ppl here who i think have good music taste like this band but to me they still sound like a bunch of a girls who can't play their instruments. What am i missing?

It's pure outsider music because they're so young that they barely have any perspective. Their meter and sense of harmony is far out and the product is punk and hypnotic as ****. It's a very pure portrait of expression. Not to mention that they were forced into it by their delusional father, but I honestly would rather focus on the music than the lore of it.
