Billy Childish - The Genius of Billy Childish [DVD-5, Flac & Mp3] (2004)

UK DVD features Childish leading two of his longer lasting musical projects through sets which perfectly display the lo-fi garage rock that is his trademark. Features 12 tracks by The(e) Milkshakes filmed during the Nothing But Trash all dayer at Nottingham Palais in April 1984, & 20 tracks by Thee Headcoats caught live at the Picket, Liverpool on Sept. 29, 1993, with the second half of the set featuring the band's girlfriends (AKA Thee Headcoatees) on vocals. As a bonus, there is a clip from the British cult movie, Pervirella featuring Thee Headcoates performing 'Beach Bums Must Die'.

Musician, writer, painter, enigma, cultural icon – all of these and more apply to Billy Childish, an artist the world is waking up to. “The Genius Of Billy Childish “ is the first ever DVD to feature Billy, as he showcases his musical abilities.

Billy Childish is reputed to have recorded 100 LP’s during his 24-year career. As if that’s not enough to be getting on with, he’s also painted 2,000 odd paintings, written 2 novels & penned 30 plus volumes of poetry. Expelled from the prestigious St Martins School of Art early in his career, Childish has continued to paint, write and make music independently ever since.

Childish bands have long been championed by a succession of more established artists; Kurt Cobain liked Thee Mighty Caesars, & more recently The White Stripes Jack White appeared on Top Of The Pop’s with Billy’s name scrawled on his forearm. This kind of artistic adoration finally gained Billy a record deal with Transcopic Records (run by ex-Blur member Graham Coxon). Billy has also enjoyed an increasing public profile over the last twelve months with regular articles and interviews appearing in national newspapers and magazines. His stock as an artist is probably at its greatest.

“The Genius Of Billy Childish “ features Billy leading two of his longer lasting musical projects, “Thee Headcoats” and “Thee Milkshakes” through sets which perfectly display the lo-fi garage rock that Billy has made his musical trademark. Full of charm and raw energy, the sets show just why Billy is loved by his army of followers.

FYI: Do NOT expect super high quality, both audio and video-wise. It's a bit rough…but then again…this is…BILLY CHILDISH…and he looooves lo-fi! It properly wouldn't be totally fair to recommend this DVD to new Billy Childish listeners, but for old time fans such as myself, this DVD is pure GOLD! [Toxxy]
