The Muggs are known for their heavy guitar riffs and back to basic blues style. The three piece out of Detroit has made a name for itself around the area by first appearing at the Hamtramck Blowout, a gathering of a slew of local Detroit bands showcased at over 20 bars in Hamtramck, a city contained entirely within Detroit. A staple of the Detroit local music scene, the band can be found playing at various locations around the area including Smalls, Corktown, Jacoby’s, Paychecks Lounge, and other local venues. The Muggs were one of three bands from the Detroit area to be selected by www.canyouhearme.tv in a rockumentary highlighting the best underground bands in America. They were also a part of the 2007 FOX series “the Next Great American Band” and were accepted in the top 12 out of over 100,000 acts by the judges.
On May 9th, 2008, the Muggs released their second LP entitled “On With The Show.” The album has received great reviews in several publications and on several rock websites, including an 8/10 review in the August 2008 issue of Classic Rock Magazine.
The band has enjoyed opening for countless classic rock and various national acts including Mountain, Robin Trower, Cactus, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After, Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple/Black Sabbath, Johnny Lang, Candlebox, North Mississippi Allstars, the Verve Pipe, Electric Six, & the Detroit Cobras. Their popularity continues to grow, as exhibited by their making the “100 HOT Unsigned Bands” list in Music Connection in December 2008, and by their over 60,000 fans on www.myspace.com. Still together and showing no signs of slowing, check out the Muggs as they tour various areas of Detroit.
