Live Ledge #277: Thee Bands
Is that the case? I've wondered about that for over five years, and it was during a recent iTunes cleanup that I discovered the multitude of "Thee" bands in my library. So why not do a show based around those types of bands?
In doing so, I have decided that the world needs yet one more rock and roll sub-genre. No matter where they originated "thee" bands tend to be loud, lo-fi, witty, and lovers of the British Invasion of the mid-'60's.
The true guru of "Thee" bands is certainly Billy Childish. After the demise of The Pop Rivets, the poet/filmmaker/songwriter/photographer started a run of "Thee" bands with the 1981 creation of Thee Milkshakes. Over the next two decades, he led or was a part of another half dozen or so of these types of acts, including The Mighty Caesars, Thee Headcoats, and Thee Stash.
Tonight also includes some news on future plans for Live Ledge and other Hudson ventures. Check out what I have to say and let me know your thoughts.
