About Shaggs

The Shaggs were an American rock band formed in Fremont, New Hampshire, in 1965. They comprised the sisters Dorothy "Dot" Wiggin, Betty Wiggin, Helen Wiggin (drums) and, later, Rachel Wiggin. The Shaggs wrote seemingly simple and bizarre songs using untuned guitars, erratic rhythms, wandering melodies and rudimentary lyrics. Their only album, Philosophy of the World (1969), has been described as both among the worst of all time and as a work of unintentional brilliance.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Shaggs a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
