John and Marc do most of the singing for the band. The boys all attend Austin High School.The band got started after John and Marc had been playing together for a while and decided that they needed a drummer and another guitar, so the boys all got together and became the Shags.During their four months to-gehter, the Shags have played at a Teen Board Fashion Show, and at various parties as well as at coffeehouses.When asked about their plans for the future, the boys answered that they do this for funand they plan to have a good time.One unique fact about the Shags is that none of them have ever had formal lessons. The boys have a lot of fun improvising their own songs.They practice about tiwce a week at John’s home.The Shags think that the Paul Butterfield blues band and the Lovin’ Spoonfuls’ are the greatest, and they feel that the T.C.
