Wild Billy Childish & The Musicians Of The British Empire - Daddy Rolling Stone

Billy Childish is a writer, painter, and musician who lives in Chatham. Released was for an exhibition of Billy’s paintings at New York’s White Columns Gallery. (running from Mar 05-Apr 17, 2010). Pressed on black vinyl in an edition of 1,000 (400 available for distribution) and housed in a full color gatefold jacket designed by Peter Doig. The seemingly endless supply of Music by Childish continues with this extravagant Wild Billy Childish & The Musicians of the British Empire platter. Well into his third decade as a performer, artist, writer and overall amateur, Childish once more effortlessly churns out four easy to grasp tracks that never stray far from the primitive. Unsurprisingly, influences such as The Who, Kinks and Ramones are rarely deeply buried but that’s no matter as Billy’s interest is not in reinventing the wheel. And while it is true that the influences are sometimes obvious - the interpretation is unquestionably Childish. But what were you expecting?
