Thee Headcoats is the band moniker for Billy Childish, a prolific garage rock artist from Kent, England. With a career spanning several decades, Childish has consistently produced raw and unadorned garage rock music. Starting with the mod-punk group Pop Rivets in 1979, he went on to form Thee Mighty Caesars before establishing Thee Headcoats as his primary outlet for straightforward rock & roll. Known for their energetic live performances, Thee Headcoats have released numerous albums and even paid tribute to Bo Diddley with their album "Bo in Thee Garage". Despite disbanding in 2000, tracks from the band continue to be released.

Throughout his career, Billy Childish has been involved in various creative endeavors beyond music. He is also a poet, painter, producer, and publisher. His influence on the garage rock genre can still be felt today with bands like the Hives and the White Stripes embracing similar sounds.

Thee Headcoats' discography includes notable releases such as "Beached Earls", which combines two vinyl albums into one CD release, and live efforts like "Live! At the Wild Western Room" featuring not only Thee Headcoats but also all-girl group Thee Headcoatees. Additionally, under the name Thee Stash, they have released cover versions of Clash songs.

thee headcoats sect is the inevitable intersection of two generations of mad-hatted punk r 'n' b misfits with musical and philosophical lineage that can be traced back over more than 30 years. the donwliners sect were among the country's foremost rhythm and blues groups, their most prolific period being the years from 1964 to 1966. as is often the case, they were denied the sort of success they deserved - they were outcasts, too young, too uncouth, and just a tad too eccentric to be accepted by their peers. as the melody maker said of their debut album in 1964: 'forget this one if you want a happy christmas, and don't want to drive all the guests away from your party'....today, however, to fans of raw, vital punk r 'n' b, the donwliners sect are revered above and beyond any of their tamers, more famous uk beat contemporaries. now, fast forward 30 years or so. a group of punk r'n'b upstarts (including one mr billy childish), wearing ludicrous headgear, with a milkshakes and mighty caesars pedigree are wowing the seething mass of young, uncouth, eccentric garage-heads at venues all over the country, and in the usa, and in japan. today chatham, tomorrow the world! thee headcoats had kicked at the same locked doors as the downliners sect had before them, but now had found the key to success. now, fast forward again. what if the now greying original sectarians were to team up with the upstart headcoats? pit these seasoned r&amp;b icons against the punk energy of their bastard children, let 'em sink their still healthy choppers into some of childish's brash, biting material and capture the whole mess on tape with as little technological interference as possible. it couldn't be anything less brilliant!
