Kimberly Dianne "Kim" Shattuck (born July 17, 1963)[1][2][3] is the lead singer and guitarist of the band The Muffs and was a member of the Pixies, playing bass for them in 2013. From 1985 to 1990, she was a member of The Pandoras. In 2001, she was a singer, guitarist and songwriter for The Beards, a superpop side project composed of Shattuck, Lisa Marr, and Sherri Solinger.[4]
She sang on a NOFX song, "Lori Meyers" on the album Punk in Drublic. She also sang on a Bowling for Soup song, "I'll Always Remember You (That Way)", which was included with the single "My Wena". She also collaborated with vocals for the Kepi Ghoulie song "This Friend of Mine" on the album American Gothic. Shattuck also became the namesake to Dr. Shattuck, a character on Mr. Show (HBO, 1995–1999).
In June 2013 it was announced that she would be joining the Pixies for their European tour that year, following the departure of original member Kim Deal; however, in late November of that same year, it was announced that she was no longer a member of the Pixies.[5]
