Weird female musicians

Check this out, very interesting story of a father who wouldn't give up the dream of seeing his girls become superstars...Wich sadly never happened, (The music is bizar and very badly played and out of tune what gives it a certain "charme"..... ) instead they became a very cult and weird act in record collectors land :)

Frank Zappa is reported to have said of the Shaggs,

"This sounds like the missing link between Fanny and Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band.

Frank Zappa rated The Shaggs #3 best band in history in a Norwegian newspaper (April 1988)

Everything you know about music is WRONG, August 23, 2000

By Kenneth T. Ward "jazzer" (Houston, TX USA) -

See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Almost all modern music leaves the listener with absolutely no feelings whatsoever. Not so of The Shaggs. You do not so much listen to them as endure their total assault upon the concepts of melody, harmony, rhythm, and logic. Your first play-through will be a cathartic experience of sorts - disbelief turns into incredulity, incredulity mutates into speechlessness, speechlessness transforms into a deeply-rooted hatred of the life force within you, and before you know it your lower intestine is snaking up through your neck trying to strangle you. This is the music your dogs would make if they could strum guitars and speak English. And this is the beauty of The Shaggs - they are so mind-bendingly, death-defyingly horrible in every conceivable way that they grab your viscera, shove them through a turbocharged garbage disposal, and put them back inside of you in random order. Buy this CD (or rather inflict it upon yourself) and marvel at the amazing variations found within the human species. Besides, you have probably done something unspeakably evil in your life - this will be your punishment. You DESERVE this.

Best recent-new voice Incredible 'cords', serious R&B roots and not to mention the 'eye-candy'. She's a young one - born 2007. Just hope she grows out of recent path down the 'managed-pop'.
