Thee Headcoatees

Girlsville - 206 Bonus Reissue Edition

First UK pressing since the Hangman Records 1991 vinyl edition! Now updated to include two extra tracks, their first two singles – ‘Headcoat Girl’ and ‘Davey Crockett’!

“There we were, sitting round a kitchen table coming up with ideas and tunes for 'Girlsville'. ‘Wild Man’ - wow! ‘Round Every Corner’ (written for us by Billy), ‘First Plane Home’, a Kinks cover always played in the live set, as was ‘Meet Jacqueline’ (apparently penned by Albert Hammond, odd!) Every track was a winner, I think. Then we went to conquer the world with our albums 'Have Love Will Travel', 'Bozstik Haze' (not purple!), and 'Punk Girls' plus numerous 7-inch crackers. The fun we had until 'Here Comes Cessation'. Well so we thought….” Miss Ludella Black – Jan 2026

Thee Headcoats & Thee Headcoatees

Jim Bowie / As The Broken Tree Begins To Fall

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.

Thee Headcoatees

Man-Trap

"If you had an uneasy feeling that 2025 would somehow be the year of Thee Headcoatees, then give yourself a hearty handshake – for surprisingly, ’tis true! We can indirectly blame the passing of our dear departed Great Ribbon, Mr Don Craine, for instigating a regurgitation of Thee Headcoats back in 2022. Ostensibly booked to record a tribute EP as Thee Headcoats Sect – featuring Don’s fellow Downliner-in-Chief Keith Grant Evans – the chaps found they had a few extra hours to fill in the studio, so they figured they may as well record a new Headcoats album, too. And why not? This materialised, with minimum fuss, as Irregularis (The Great Hiatus) on Damaged Goods in 2023. Come late 2024 and before you could unravel a deerstalker ribbon the chaps were at it again, and another new Headcoats LP was “in the can”, originally scheduled for release earlier this year. HOWEVER, somewhere along the line, some bright spark pointed out, “Why should the boys get all the fun? How about giving those Sisters of Suave, Thee Headcoatees a look in, too?” Utilising all the masculine wiles at their disposal, Thee Headcoats / Damaged Goods suaveness and charm machine shuddered into action. Through sheer determination and tenacity, one-by-one, Ludella Black, Kyra LaRubia, Bongo Debbie and Holly Golightly were dragged kicking and screaming (the things they do best) out of the woodwork to lay down the 14 killer-diller cuts found on this, their latest long-playing release, the cunningly titled Man-Trap. That’s no mean feat! So, in early 2025 recording time was booked at Rochester’s prestigious Ranscombe Studios, gin and snacks were prepared, and in the twinkling of an eye the backing tracks were down – Thee Headcoats back in their best rhythm section mode and Thee Headcoatees back singing. Billy Childish took the reins as producer. Undaunted by some geographical hiccups along the way, by late May the result was a shiny new Headcoatees album!"
