December 29, 2009 News: New Years Eve at The Crump. For more information check our Shaggy Buttonspecial site.

We are pumped up about playing our first New Years Eve show with our good friends Samesoul at the historic Crump Theater in downtown Columbus, IN. For the last four years we have brought in the New Year in Nashville, TN working in the studio and because of that we have released a demo and two full length albums. Now that we have released our latest album, 'Real World Shaker', just a few months ago and we are still working on new material that will be our next project we jumped at this opportunity to bring in the New Year in a big way.

This show will be a top notch production featuring the incredible lighting by Alex Scheider of Herm Productions and will also feature some other nice suprises including a balloon drop at midnight. This is an all ages event so all you youngins who get stuck at a lame party with your parents every year have a function of your own to go to, and for all you folks of age there will be cash bar for you to partake of spirits. All the info you need including tickets is available at the link below. This is going to be one hell of a party and we want you there to join in the fun. Shaggy Wonda ... I had no idea.

September 22, 2009 News: Great review of our performance at Wunurth by Shaggy ButtonFestival Familiy dot com: "Kicking off the main stage activities for Friday was Shaggy Wonda, out of Bloomington, Indiana that I have somehow managed to miss at the couple of fests where I'd previously had a chance to catch them. Strong, funky song played with a go for broke energy that got the crowd boogying away. Their set was a great way to kickoff the fest, and set the tone of the weekend in surprising myself and all who hadn't seen them with skill and passion. There were a couple of bands completely new to me and I felt a pain to come in my wallet from all the CD's I'll be buying over the next couple of weeks, Shaggy Wonda's being the first."
