The Howling Hex

Neil Michael Hagerty first gained notice alongside Jon Spencer in the pioneering lo-fi noise rock band P***y Galore in the late 1980s. Even before that band split in 1990, Hagerty and fellow guitarist and singer Jennifer Herrema had formed the moderately more coherent, blues-influenced Royal Trux. Hagerty gathered a new backing band called the Howling Hex and began a solo career immediately upon that band's dissolution with the release of 2001's NEIL MICHAEL HAGERTY. Hagerty and the Howling Hex quickly established a relentless release schedule, putting out their 11th album, THE HOWLING HEX XI, by 2008.
