Hagerty, Neil
Entry updated 23 April 2025. Tagged: Author, Music.
(1965- ) US musician and occasional author, best known as one half (with his then partner Jennifer Herrema) of the influential alternative rock band Royal Trux. His sole novel to date, Victory Chimp (1997), follows the titular primate across the Multiverse, attempting to free his race from oppression, in a Drug-addled non-linear style seemingly indebted to William S Burroughs. Hagerty returned to the character in some Royal Trux songs, and in 2011 his subsequent band, The Howling Hex, created music for an audio version. [CWa]
