Billy no mates started in 2004 as the solo project of Duncan Redmonds(Snuff,Guns 'n' wankers,Duncans Diva's,The Toy Dolls).While Snuff snoozed the first album "We are legion" was recorded late 2004 and released early 2005 on 10past12 records. Duncan recorded everything thus the "Billy no mates" tag. Later it was decided to try to put three bands together to play the songs live. One in Britain one in Japan and one in the USA. The one in the USA didn't work(yet) but the other two did and both set off on the road. After having toured Japan and europe it was decided to record with them both. First was a split single with Milloy featuring the UK Billy line up of Duncan,Will,Wes,Joe and Tom recording a version of "Look at you" and a new song "058". Next was an album recorded in Japan in 2006 with the Japanese members. This is available on Pizza of Death and 10past12 records called "C'MONLETMESEEYOUPOGO". After various gigs, tours, wet farts, broken ribs and changes in the UK line up came a Billy UK tour EP "Hotcakes" for the German tour in 2008.
2009 and Duncan has decided to go back on drums in the UK line up(sorry Pete, no hard feelings) and in comes Ed "Waterboy" Wenn aka Shred on second guitar. End of 2009 and work is well under way on a new album featuring UK and Japanese members. Oi Oi up the punks.

Hut Ab geht in die 3. Runde
Lieber Freund und Besucher unseres Kleinkunstwohnzimmers,
das war nun auch die 2. Runde der Veranstaltung “Hut Ab“. Das gemütliche Ambiente lud ein weiteres mal zum verweilen, zuhören und genießen ein. Annika Hein und Band überraschte das Publikum mit einer vielseitigen multiinstrumentalen Performance. Mit leisen Tönen verzückte uns Dana Shanti und ließ uns den lauten Alltag vergessen. Last but not least, Sid der Liedermacher zauberte mit gesungem Wort und Witz allen ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Nicht zu vergessen die Leckerein von unserem buchhaltenden Chefkoch Rudi. Es war wieder ein schöner runder Abend. Wie immer gilt ein ganz besonderer Dank an die Künstler und die vielen fleißigen Helfer.
Hoffentlich bis zum 06.11.09, wenn es wieder heißt „Hut Ab“ im ORWOhaus.
