Hi Billy Watchers,

It would seem that our first single didn't make it to HMV today.

The good news is Formant Records have finally received the CD single from the pressing plant and it looks and sounds great.

We will have a release date to announce in the next couple of days so keep an eye on the website.

Billy Wears Dresses will also be making a live appearence on BBC Radio Kent on Wednesday after 4pm on the Andy Garland Show.

If you haven't already seen it our video to accompany the single is at our official You Tube Site

We also have Forums on our website, so get stuck in!

Cheers,

Billy Wears Dresses

They Came From The Stars I Saw Them
www. myspace. com/theycamefromthestarsisawthem
“One of the highlights of my year, without a doubt. Visionaries follow their muse regardless of the world around them and that couldn't be more true of they came from the stars I saw them... Numbering as many as 30 in the past, they've now trimmed down to a more manageable four-piece, but their music is still as astonishingly catchy as ever, somehow combining krautrock, space rock, free jazz, soul and funk into a pure pop concoction... with brilliant titles and wonderful, hypnotic singalong tunes.... ahead of their time...
John Kennedy on XFM and in Dazed Confused

“They got the voice of the Pistols and the sound of the Clash. It’s a dream combo and to hear is to believe!”

Shimmy Rivers And And Canal
http://www. myspace. com/shimmyriversandandcanal
“Most likely to be mistaken for some kind of typo, Shimmy Rivers and and Canal have a bi-weekly show on Resonance FM and a great retro website. Can one band really sound like Nick Cave singing in the B52s?”
