Ok, well Billy has been around forever, well since his first band started in 1977, The Pop Rivits, via The Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Ceasers, Thee Headcoats, Blackhands and now the Buff Medways.
Often cited as a genius by Americans like Beck, Mudhoney, Nirvana and more recently The White Stripes he does at last seem to be getting the recognition that all that hard work shorley deserves.
Damgood 15 featured different versions of two tracks on the solo Sub Pop album The Original Chatham Jack, Damgood 22 is a fantastic album with his mates the Singing Loins, punk-folk I call it.
Mister Childish and Mister Ming have been writing poetry, playing music and painting pictures together since 1979 when they formed Phyroid Press.
Their work together, documented by several LPs and 25 small press publications, is inspired by the early Dadaists, Edward Lear, Captain Beefheart and the literature of the absurd.
The Guardian described their material as An authentic output of creative play Billy and Sexton describe it as A smoking chimney stack that falls over and crushes your wife and kids Curiously both are true.
They have finished work on their latest collaboration Here Come The Fleece Geese.
Obviously check out all the other stuff we've done with him too.......
