Billy Childish should nowadays be well known for everybody. This man truly got a lot of various musical things going, and that with the most different artists and bands.

He has written both poems and prose, which were translated in several languages (HANGMAN BOOKS) and he has created, as independent artist, woodcuts and paintings stringently in the tradition of the Classic Modern. He released with all these bands and other side-projects more than 100 sound carriers by the most renowned Garage/Punk labels like SUB POP, K-REC., DAMAGED GOODS, CRYPT, SFTRI and by smaller labels worldwide. All these releases are account for the probably most independent and acerb style with 100% individual design, although the sound is different from project to project. Artists like WHITE STRIPES, KURT COBAIN (RIP), GRAHAM COXON etc. are referring to him as a source of inspiration. For his current combo, BILLY CHILDISH & THE MUSICANS OF BRITISH EMPIRES, BILLY CHILDISH (guitar and voice) could enlist MR. WOLF HOWARD (THE BUFF MEDEWAYS, THE PRIME MOVERS, THE SOLARFLARES, DAGGERMEN, JAMES TAYLOR QUARTET) for the instrumentation on drums and NURSE JULIE (THE ALINES.) for bass and moreover, her enchanting, harmonic but also sappy female voice. The two tracks on this SOUNDFLAT RECORDS 45, ROSIE JONES and LITTLE MISS CONTRARY are about 2 absolute 60's GaragePunk winner with a cracking lacing of R'N'B!
