Episode Details

How obscene does your band need to be for the FBI to get involved? In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott and Blake dig into the band that found out the hard way: The Fugs.

A chaotic 1960s underground band comprised of poets, pranksters, activists, and, well, absolute weirdos, The Fugs tackled topics such as sex, politics, drugs, and social rebellion in songs with titles so outrageous they got the attention of the federal authorities.

The Fugs were pre-punk, but their music was provocative enough to spark a full-blown moral panic, with crackdowns, censorship, and J. Edgar Hoover's paranoia-driven bureau taking a keen interest.

This one's got art, politics, '60s counterculture, and well... You'll just have to find out.
