ep. 718 - A Tale of Five Shags: Obscure 60s Fuzz & The Great Naming Confusion
08/03/2026 | 53 min
Dust off your fuzz pedals and adjust your tracking—we’re diving into the distorted, vibrating heart of the 1960s underground. In an era where "shaggy" hair was a political statement, a surprising number of bands landed on the exact same name. We’ve managed to track down tracks from five distinct (and often confused) outfits. Warning: This episode contains high levels of feedback and extreme levels of "shag."
