Thee Headcoatees: Discography 1991 - 1999


URBANASPIRINES


Thee Headcoatees were an all-female garage band formed in Chatham, Kent, England in 1991. 


They were part of the Medway scene. The members were Holly Golightly, Kyra LaRubia, Ludella Black and "Bongo" Debbie Green.
They started life as mates of Thee Headcoats doing a few songs on stage and then came the great idea to do a proper album, ‘Girlsville’ was recorded and released on Hangman Records and a great new band was born. 




One of the many bands led by British garage rock icon Billy Childish, Thee Headcoats was his most 

prolific, no small statement given the man's ceaseless creativity and busy release schedule. Thee Headcoats played tough, R&B-influenced rock & roll influenced by the gritty sounds of the early Kinks, Pretty Things, and Downliners Sect, with a sense of humor informed by Childish's fascination with Deerstalker hats, American animated cartoons, and various strains of vintage pop culture. 



We have played some Holly Golightly before and indeed some Thee Headcoatees but Kostas promised a profile of the band and this is it! Seven albums - count ‘em!
