Shattuck was best known for being the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the band the Muffs, whose cover of Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” was prominently featured in the 1995 film Clueless. She was also a member of both the Pandoras and the Beards, and contributed her vocals to songs by NOFX and Bowling For Soup. In 2013, Shattuck joined the Pixies for their European tour replacing original Pixies member Kim Deal before eventually departing at the end of the tour.
Shattuck and Melanie Vammen were members of the Pandoras in the 1980s. In 1991, they started the punk band the Muffs and released their first singles “Guilty” and “New Love” that same year.

Their cover of Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” famously appeared on the Clueless soundtrack in 1995.
Four albums followed: 1995’s Blonder and Blonder, 1997’s Happy Birthday to Me, 1999’s Alert Today Alive Tomorrow, and 2004’s Really Really Happy. The group went on hiatus. Shattuck collaborated with other musicians and bands over the years, including NOFX, the Dollyrots, and more. She was briefly a touring member of the Pixies following Kim Deal’s departure from the band. The Muffs returned for various live performances before releasing 2014’s Whoop Dee Doo.
