Creator and guitarist John Haggerty have been within the seminal Nude Raygun, while his sibling, drummer Joe Haggerty, experienced used Bloodsport along with a later on version from the Effigies. Vocalist Larry Damore and charter bassist Steve Saylors experienced both experienced the Bhopal Stiffs, and teamed up using the Haggerty brothers in 1990, when all their respective bands experienced abandoned the ghost (or had been going to). Putting your signature on to Contact & Proceed subsidiary Quarterstick, Pegboy debuted that same 12 months using the Three Chord Monte EP, after that adopted it in 1991 making use of their 1st full-length recording, Strong Reaction. Later on paired on the CD reissue, both of these information bridged ’90s punk-pop and seminal proto-alternative punkers like Hüsker Dü, Objective of Burma, and these Nude Raygun. Carrying out a tour with Public Distortion, Saylors still left the band, due to a new, much less flexible day work. Chicago tale Steve Albini stuffed set for him in the 1993 EP Fore, and the group resolved on a long lasting substitution in Pierre Kezdy, another ex-Naked Raygun member who’d began his profession in another early Chicago punk clothing, Hit Under (his sibling John also fronted the Effigies). Kezdy debuted in the 1994 record Earwig, that was accompanied by a divide one with Kepone. Falling silent for two years, Pegboy came back in 1997 making use of their third record, the Albini-engineered Cha Cha Damore. The group continuing to execute live, but confronted with diminishing profession momentum, they elected to disband in 2000.
