Why the name?
It originally started as Slag Brothers. That was the name we used on a music CD we produced because we liked the gender confusion between slag and brother.
When we moved into comedy (some say they're still waiting for us to do that) we took the name with us but, on getting a few scared responses from within the media (mostly local), we decided to soften the impact to the real surname 'Slagg' although we retain the old sense in our SlagA / SlagB names.
We tend to explain away the name as the use of one of our surnames or that it's to do with the coal industry but the roots were always a dig at gender lines.
Cheers for asking.
