Bio
Shag Athlete, in its present incarnation, formed very recently and is currently taking kitchens by storm. Shag Athlete is a musical ensemble that resides in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, North Carolina. They specialize in a type of relatively short musical composition called "song". "Songs" contain vocal parts for the human voice, commonly accompanied by other musical instruments (exceptions would be scat songs) and feature words (lyrics). Shag Athlete lives in the small musical village of Fenario. It has been said that it's a way to march down to Fenario. The perform their "songs" in the legendary, often described as haunted, Castle Gayskull. Their lyrics often concern the lost art of cigarette counting, weathermen, unhugged babies and pretty girls on bicycles. Their music has been compared to rock n roll, a style of "song" popularized in the United States in the mid to late twentieth century. Their mothers care deeply for them. And so should you. .. .. -

for those about to rock, i salute you.
Saaay... where is the music?
I WANNA BE A SHAGLETE! and i'm sorry i have not put the music on here. i sorta wanted to redo my key parts, but i think i'll put it up here anyway. i made mistakes in those songs. sheesh. and since when is a comment section actually a posting forum? what is this? 4chan?
You, Shelby, are the only non-member to leave any comments so far. I assume this means you'll be taking over as head of the new Shag Athlete Fan Club. We call them the 'shagletes'. You'll, uh, be the first member of course.
Shag Athlete is a little like the water heater at Fenario - we never stop heatin' it up! Shelby knows what I'm talkin about. He still feels the rock every morning when he wakes up.
