The Worst Rock Band In History - The Story of The Shaggs
26 Sep 2025
The Shaggs were a rock band formed in 1965 by sisters Dorothy ("Dot"), Betty, and Helen Wiggin in Fremont, New Hampshire. Their father, Austin Wiggin Jr., believing his mother's palm reading had foretold their musical success, insisted they form a band. Despite lacking musical training or interest, the sisters practiced daily under his strict supervision. In 1969, they recorded their only album, Philosophy of the World, characterized by off-key vocals, erratic rhythms, and unconventional melodies. Initially dismissed, the album gained cult status in the 1980s, praised for its raw authenticity.
