The Profile

Royal Trux is an American duo formed by Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty (ex-Pussy Galore). Renowned for fusing bluesy grit with noise and avant-collage, they issued landmark recordings from Twin Infinitives through later albums like Accelerator and Veterans of Disorder. After their initial 1987–2001 run, they reunited 2015–2019 and released White Stuff.

Core members: Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty. Origin: United States (formed in Washington, D.C.). Active periods: 1987–2001; reunion 2015–2019 with the album White Stuff (2019). Frequently associated with Drag City and the U.S. underground; Hagerty previously played in Pussy Galore.

DeBaser’s reviews paint Royal Trux as a fiercely independent duo merging blues grit with noise and avant-collage. Twin Infinitives dominates discussion—lauded as a cubist masterpiece by many and dismissed as a “colossal disaster” by one dissenting voice. Other write-ups spotlight the raw charm of Accelerator, the lo-fi first album, the transitional Third Album, Veterans of Disorder’s skewed jams, and the archival Hand of Glory. Overall: reverence for their deconstruction and allergy to polish.
