The Shaggs were formed by Dot, Betty, and Helen in 1968 on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin, who believed that his mother foresaw the band's rise to stardom in a palm reading. The band is primarily notable today for their perceived ineptitude at playing conventional rock music. The Shaggs are now seen as a groundbreaking outsider music group, receiving praise from mainstream artists such as Kurt Cobain and Frank Zappa who called the Shaggs "better than the Beatles".
