WILD BILLY CHILDISH AND THE MUSICIANS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE’S JUKEBOX

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Smith, but then his band’s name has always remained the same), Billy Childish is back with new outfit The Musicians Of The British Empire, which features Nurse Julie on bass and Wolf Howard on drums. Their recently released debut album, ‘Punk Rock At The British Legion Hall’ takes up where the Buff Medways left off, offering more of Billy Childish’s very own brew of radical punk spirit and raw garage-blues.
