[edit] Formation
Thee Headcoatees were formed by Billy Childish as a backing group for his band Thee Headcoats. The Delmonas were the first incarnation of Thee Headcoatees. Member Ludella Black headed up the Delmonas. Their songs were principally written by Billy Childish and were songs that did not fit into his other two bands Thee Headcoats and Thee Milkshakes. After Holly Golightly did a cameo appearance with Thee Headcoats, Childish added her to The Delmonas lineup. Soon thereafter the band was renamed Thee Headcoatees.[2]
[edit] History
As a backing band Thee Headcoatees initially would just do a few songs to warm up for Thee Headcoats. Their song “Headcoat Girl” on The "Sisters of Suave” even states “I wanna be a headcoat girl”. In 1991 the band cut their first album "Girlsville" for Hangman Records. It consisted of songs all written by Billy Childish. In 1998 Bongo Debbie Green left the band to work on her other bands Dutronc, Baby Birkin and The Speed of Sound.[3] The band was reduced to a three piece for their final Album "Here Comes Cessation".[4] Thee Headcoatees continued to tour with Thee Headcoats until the group folded in 1999.[5] Holly Golightly has gone on to pursuit a solo career, recording more than 10 LP's, and has worked with the bands The Greenhornes and The White Stripes and in her latter career has formed the band Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs.[6] "Bongo" Debbie Green currently plays drums and sings in Would Be Goods.
