Kim Shattuck of The Muffs (The Pandoras, The Beards, The Coolies) passed away recently at the ago of 56 after a 2 year batttle with ALS. Shattuck was an amazing force on stage and her sweet, pop punk tunes were catchy and the live Muffs shows were so much fun. My favorite memories of Kim Shattuck will always be the crazy shows at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, New Jersey. Every time The Muffs came to town, you best believe I had to represent…it was totally worth circling the crowded streets for parking. The camaradrie with her bandmates Ronnie Barnett and Roy McDonald was always fun to watch and Shattuck’s energy and songs always got the crowd pushing, shoving and dancing by the end of the set. The following videos are from their shows at Maxwell’s including Paul Collins and Kim signing a song which The Muffs covered in 2000 “Rock N Roll Girl” which is lots of fun to watch. There’s also a video from 2009 and videos from 2013, days before Maxwell’s shut down. The Muffs have a new album coming out in October titled “No Holiday” which has 18 career-spanning tracks on it. Rest in Peace, Kim Shattuck.
