Thee Headcoats are Billy Childish (guitar and vocals), Bruce Brand (drums and backing vocals) and Johnny 'Tub' Johnson (bass). Billy and Bruce started playing together in The Pop Rivets in 1977. Here we see them still playing together in Thee Headcoats. Hailed as 'the undesputed Kings of Garage Rock' in the New York Times, Thee Headcoats released over 20 LPs between 1989-2000. In 2023, they picked up where they left off and once more provide the poor listener with maximum drums and racket.
Thee Headcoatees were initially formed as a backing group for Thee Headcoats, with members Holly Golightly, Kyra LaRubia, Ludella Black and "Bongo" Debbie Green taking to the boards. Soon this developed into Thee Headcoatees joining the boys at the end of their set for a rhythm and beat knees up featuring the girls on vocals. Their debut album 'Girlsville' was cut In 1991 (Hangman Records). It consisted of original songs written by Billy Childish, and covers by The Kinks (Last Plane Home), The Beatles (Run For Your Life), The Tamrons (Wild Man) and many more.
Fast forward to 2025, and both Thee Headcoats and Thee Headcoatees were at it again releasing an LP a piece on Damaged Goods Records. And here, from the goodness of their hearts, this top 45 for Spinout Nuggets. Here we have a split 7" record from Thee Headcoats and Thee Headcoatees, featuring two unreleased tracks. Thee Headcoats' 'Jim Bowie' takes Face A, with Thee Headcoatees supplying cat calls. Face B houses Thee Headcoatees' 'As The Broken Tree Begins To Fall', with head girl Ludella Black on lead vocals.
