Thee Headcoats Sect is the inevitable intersection of two generations of mad-hatted Punk R&B misfits. The Downliners Sect were among the Britain's foremost rhythm and blues groups, their most prolific period being the years from 1964 to 1966 - denied the sort of success they deserved because they were outcasts.
Fast forward to 1996 when Punk R'n'B upstarts (including Billy Childish) with a Milkshakes and Mighty Caesars pedigree are wowing the mass of young, eccentric garage-heads at venues all over the country. What if the original Sectarians were to team up with the upstart Headcoats? http://www.cargo-records.de/en/item/28172/katalog_art.123.html

@moondog @gingercls @idiotcontrol Glad you liked it :) For me this is one of the best things B. Childish has ever recorded.
