History
As a backing band Thee Headcoatees initially would just do a few songs to warm up for Thee Headcoats. Their song “Headcoat Girl” on The "Sisters of Suave” even states “I wanna be a headcoat girl”. In 1991 the band cut their first album "Girlsville" for Hangman Records. It consisted of songs all written by Billy Childish. In 1998 "Bongo" Debbie Green left the band to work on her other bands Dutronc, Baby Birkin and The Speed of Sound. The band was reduced to a three piece for their final album, "Here Comes Cessation". Thee Headcoatees continued to tour with Thee Headcoats until the group folded in 1999. Holly Golightly has gone on to pursue a solo career, recording more than 10 LPs, and has worked with the bands The Greenhornes and The White Stripes and in her latter career has formed the band Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs. "Bongo" Debbie Green currently plays drums and sings in Would Be Goods.

—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
