Howlin' Maggie was Harold "Happy" Chichester's band, put together in Columbus, Ohio, in 1994 after his time as the bassist in Royal Crescent Mob. Their 1996 debut for Columbia, Honeysuckle Strange, is his show from top to bottom: he sings, plays keyboards and guitars and produced it himself, and the critics liked what they heard. Across its 11 songs it grabs from all over the spice rack, with lyrics that dig into drink and drugs, tangled relationships and the seedy side of the music business.

"Alcohol" and "I'm a Slut" picked up scattered play on alternative stations, and "Easy to Be Stupid" turned up on the soundtrack of the 1996 film Beautiful Girls. Chichester reshuffled the lineup for Hyde in 2001 and retired the band a couple of years later, though they reunited in Columbus in 2010 for a one-off benefit show. He is also a founding member of the Twilight Singers, alongside the Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli.
