WTJU Rock & Third Rail are excited to announce that Virginia rockers, Shagwüf, will be playing live during the WTJU Rock Marathon 2025! While the concert is free, donations to WTJU’s fundraiser are highly encouraged. The concert will be held offsite at the inside bar & stage area next to The Looking Glass at IX Art Park. You can also listen on 91.1 FM, stream via wtju.net, and video stream on WTJU’s Facebook and YouTube channels.
Shagwüf is a fierce, uncompromising trio with roots in Virginia & Argentina. With a variety of influences in their arsenal including Latin cumbia beats, 60’s era power pop, gutter-glam and fuzzed out psychedelia, Shagwüf is ear-candy for the music lover. With strong convictions on a variety of social issues, especially BLM and LGBTQIA+ rights, Shagwüf consistently makes their case for a more inclusive and intersectional future. Sweet Freaks to the front.

* NPR SONG OF THE DAY
“This Bandcamp-only release by RVA’s favorites, Shagwüf, is a goddamn masterpiece. It has that classic Shag funky, rocky sound but with a razor-sharp edge. You’re hooked instantly, pulled into a hypnotic, rock-induced trance, and then Whyse Legion comes in on the chorus, burning down every institution meant to hold the working man down. In a time that feels bleak—bleaker by the minute—music like this is an adrenaline shot to the heart. So, get back out there and make it happen.” From “Tracks We’re Spinning” RVA MAG | “Prison Song” by Shagwüf, feat. Whyse Legion
