The Fugs is a band formed in New York City in 1965 by poets Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, with Ken Weaver on drums. Soon afterwards, they were joined by Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber of the Holy Modal Rounders.
The band was named by Kupferberg, who borrowed "fug" from a euphemism for "fuck" used in Norman Mailer's novel, The Naked and the Dead.
