SHELLSHAG (Shell on guitar and Shag on drums) is a band that has been around for what feels like a lifetime now. I've seen them play their fucked up, beautiful songs flawlessly to absolutely no one in rooms while acting like they were selling out Madison Square Gardens. I've admired their ability to persevere through rough times, including the late 90's Mission punk scene when it seemed like no one would make it out alive. I've also danced and cried along with rooms full of beautiful freaks while they have played hit after amazing hit. SHELLSHAG is timeless, freaky, amazing and I'm proud as hell to know that they are my friends. Huge sighs.
