Biography
The ultra-prolific bandleader/producer/poet/painter/publisher first emerged in 1977 with punk group The Pop Rivets. In 1980, the Pop Rivets spit and Billy Formed The Milkshakes (aka Thee Milkshakes or Mickey & the Milkshakes). The band was remarkably prolific, releasing no fewer than seven albums in 1984 (four of them on the same day). Shortly thereafter, Childish moved on to the similarly minded Thee Mighty Caesars. In the late ’80s, Childish formed Thee Headcoats — a trio that included Pop Rivets guitarist, Milkshakes/Mighty Caesars drummer, Bruce Brand — and remaind Childish’s primary outlet for his more accessible, straight-up rock & roll untill 2000, when he formed The Buff Medways. There was a ‘girl’ version of the group called Thee Headcoatees (comprising of members of The Delmonas and including Holly Golightly, who went on to her own successes and Kyra La Rubia and Bongo Debbie The A-Lines along with Julie Hamper from The Musicians Of The British Empire] and Ludella Black ).

@tombom23 You should be glad for being so lucky! Take a look at the Medway Beat, there's plenty of good bands on the Kent - Chatham - Medway area!

@ZapptGummi, go buy it from Damaged Goods, there's a special place in Hell for folks who steal Mr. Childish's work. If there isn't, then there truly is no God.

If you're ever lost or have your headcoat on backwards. Return to Thee Headcoats for guidance, I find it always helps.
