The Milkshakes Sing and Play 20 Rock & Roll Hits of the 50's & 60's (1984)

A genius.

When I listen to a Billy Childish record I want to play my guitar.

When I see a Billy Childish painting I want to paint.

When I read a Billy childish poem I want to write poems.

When I see Billy Childish I want to grow a fine moustache

and ride an old bicycle. 

That's how much I like Billy Childish.

Billy Childish- 25 years of being childish (2002)

Billy says it all in his own words there. Can't add to that.

The King of Garage Rock- Childish has produced over 100 LP’s with his various bands, in addition to writing 40 volumes of poetry and producing hundreds of paintings.
This is the sort of stuff that should make you dust down that old guitar…
The file contains sleeve notes, line ups etc.

Thee Milkshakes, The Stingrays, The Cannibals- These Cats Ain’t Nothing But Trash (1983)

Take four guys (or girls, or any combination...), basic equipment, guitar, bass and a rudimentary drumkit. Songs based on a I IV V progression and the blues pentatonic scale. What do you call it? Here it’s called Trash, but it formed the basis of punk rock and all honest rock n roll music. After punk legions of d.i.y bands sprung up who followed this template for reasons of both ideology and necessity.
This 1983 compilation brings together The Stingrays (Crouch End), The Cannibals (London) and The(e) Milkshakes (Chatham).
Thee Milkshakes were one of the numerous bands developed by Billy Childish, in my book a candidate for the title The Greatest Living Englishman, and the only person that I have seen give a satisfactory answer to the question ‘what is art?’ If you think that you might have just one creative cell in your body but feel inhibited about actually doing anything about it, take Billy Childish as your model and just go out and do it.
