It was in a 'musty,' poster laden, instrument filled, basement spare room in Northwest, Calgary, where the Shagbots were born. It started in Spring 2006, at the age of 16. Three years later the Shagbots are two demos stronger, and countless shows wiser. Inspired by the likes of, Beija Flor, Joy Division, Death From Above 1979, the Clash, Arctic Monkeys, and the Strokes; the Shagbots have forged their own honestly unique sound in a scene catering to the norm. They have played note worthy events, such as opening for Sled Island's headlining acts, The Mae Shi (Los Angeles) and DDMMYYYY (Toronto). Also playing along other respected Canadian Indie acts, Ladyhawk (Vancouver), All Purpose Voltage Heroes (Edmonton/Vancouver), Trike (Vancouver), Sharp Like Knives (Halifax), the Dudes (Calgary), and others. In the Fall of 2008, the Shagbots received recognition for their catchy, original, dance punk music in FUEL 90.3's, 'big Rock Star Competition.' They surpassed well known calgary acts such as Hot Little Rocket, Seventh Rain, and Kara Keith to finish in the Top 3 bands in all of Calgary. They received a grant of $26,000 from NewCap Radio and are now heading into the studio to record their first full length album. Keep your eyes open for the new album and supporting tour in the Summer 2009!
