The Fugs are an American band formed in New York City in 1964 by poets Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg. Known for their satirical and anarchic style, they pioneered a blend of folk, rock, and free-form experimentation, often incorporating elements of poetry and theater. Their controversial lyrics and anti-establishment stance made them a significant influence in the counterculture of the 1960s. Notable works include their debut album "The Fugs First Album" and the politically charged "Tenderness Junction."
