Shagwuf

Shagwüf is a fierce, uncompromising, power trio with roots in Virginia & Argentina. In the words of SPIN Magazine, "Shagwüf is arguably the best band ever to come out of [the] Charlottesville [area].” Pixies-esque punk trailblazers, Shagwüf delivers a high-voltage live performance with the intention of creating a safe space for all to be celebrated. With a variety of influences in their arsenal, including Latin cumbia beats, 60s-era power pop, gutter-glam, and fuzzed-out psychedelia, Shawüf is ear candy for the open-minded music lover. With strong convictions on a variety of social issues, especially BLM, LGBTQIA+, and immigrants' rights, Shagwüf consistently makes their case for a more inclusive and intersectional future. Donning accolades like “Best Rock Band” in the RVA Mag Reader’s Poll & “Song of the day” by NPR, the Shag Pups are living proof that independent underdogs can make a name for themselves by embodying sheer JAM ECONO ethos and a tireless wheels on the pavement work ethic. “The long and short of it: [Shagwüf] embodies rock ’n’ roll more than just about anyone else. [They are] one of the best in the game” (RVA Magazine).
