Josephine Wiggs is an indie/alternative rock musician, noted for parts in Perfect Disaster, The Breeders, and her own project The Josephine Wiggs Experience.
In 1990, Wiggs met Kim Deal when Perfect Disaster were supporting the Pixies, and Deal, Tanya Donelly and Wiggs got together to form The Breeders, which became a full-time band in 1992 after the Pixies broke up.
In 1994 on the Lollapalooza tour with The Breeders, Wiggs had a romantic relationship with Kate Schellenbach. They formed the short-lived band Ladies Who Lunch, and Wiggs played bass on Schellenbach's side-project the Kostars.
In mid 1996 Wiggs moved back to England and formed The Josephine Wiggs Experience, a collaboration between Wiggs and Jon Mattock (of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized), plus input from others, notably Audu Obaje and Kate Schellenbach. The Bon Bon Lifestyle album features Wiggs singing and also playing most of the instruments.
In 2001, she worked with Vivian Trimble from the group Luscious Jackson and they released an album. The duo was called Dusty Trails.
