Neil Michael Hagerty (born 1965) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. He is best known for his work in Royal Trux which he formed with his partner Jennifer Herrema, with whom he lived in Washington, Virginia.[1]
Hagerty released several solo albums since Royal Trux's demise in 2001, followed by recordings under the moniker The Howling Hex. He also performed as a guitarist and songwriter in Pussy Galore and Weird War. Hagerty is the author of two books, Victory Chimp (1997), a science fiction novel,[2] and Public Works (2005), a collection of short essays.
On April 14, 2023 Hagerty was arrested in Denver, Colorado after allegedly assaulting three police officers who had been called to the scene for a welfare check.[3] Later that month, he was charged with three felonies - one count of second-degree assault against a police officer and two counts of attempting to disarm a peace officer - as well as two misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest in relation to the incident.[4]
