Thee Headcoats Sect are a raw rhythm & blues collaboration combining the 1960s RnB combo The Downliners Sect with Billy Childish’s Thee Headcoats.
Thee Headcoats are arguably the most famous, influential and wonderful of the many group incarnations that Billy Childish has formed or performed in since 1977.
The Downliners Sect were one the country’s first rhythm and blues groups; their most prolific period being the years from 1964 to 1966.
Gathering together in ’91, with headcoats in full view, the combos teamed up to record the ‘Headcoats On’ 7” EP, followed by the ‘Deerstalking Men’ LP in ’96, and ‘Ready Sect Go!’ LP in ’99.
Some twenty-three years later, gathered together again, following the passing of The Downliners Sect’s Don Craine, the combo reformed with vocalist and bassist Keith Evans to record ‘A Tribute To Don Craine’ 7” EP, followed by the ‘Got Sect If You Want It!’ 7” EP.
Good things are hard to fathom, so Thee Headcoats Sect have gathered again to try to clear up the confusion of modern rubbish with these two raw rhythm and blues recordings that are sure to be number 1 in the the world no one visits.
