The owner of the label, Bernard Stollman, has frequently faced accusation of not paying royalties to artists. The Fugs said that "our royalty rate was less than 3%, one of the lower percentages in the history of western civilization". The band signed a record contract with ESP-Disk in 1965. These included Weber and Stampfel, bassist John Anderson, guitarist Vinny Leary, guitarist Peter Kearney, keyboardist Lee Crabtree, guitarist Jon Kalb, guitarist Stefan Grossman, singer/guitarist Jake Jacobs, guitarist Eric Gale, bassist Chuck Rainey, keyboardist Robert Banks, bassist Charles Larkey, guitarist Ken Pine, guitarist Danny Kortchmar, clarinetist Perry Robinson, and drummer Bill Wolf.įor most of the last twenty-five years, The Fugs have been composed of primary singer/songwriters Sanders and, until his death, Kupferberg composer, song writer, guitarist and long-time Allen Ginsberg-collaborator Steven Taylor singer/songwriter and percussionist Coby Batty and Scott Petito, a musician and music producer.
The band's original core members, Ed Sanders, Tuli Kupferberg, and Ken Weaver, were joined at various times in the 1960s by a number of others, some of whom were noted session musicians or members of other bands.
