Shagrat was a British supergroup formed by Steve Peregrin Took and Mick Farren in February 1970 after they split with Twink, their partner in the prototype Pink Fairies supergroup of late 1969. They recruited Larry Wallis and Tim Taylor, both formerly of The Entire Sioux Nation. Farren left the band shortly after its establishment and never recorded or performed with them. Shagrat then became Took's band outright with Wallis, Taylor, Phil Lenoir, and later Dave Bidwell.
As well as being an offshoot of the birth of the original Pink Fairies incarnation of 1970-1972, Shagrat set the template for Took's solo/frontman career. Shagrat also proved to be an ancestor of both the 1973 Pink Fairies incarnation which recorded the Kings Of Oblivion album and also the founding Motörhead incarnation which recorded On Parole, in both cases after Farren recommended Wallis, based on his guitar playing with Shagrat, respectively to the Fairies as a guitarist/singer and to Lemmy as a guitarist.
Took discussed the band retrospectively in the NME and it would much later receive coverage in Rockerilla, Record Collector and Classic Rock
