Another History Lesson from Professor DeRogatis
Summary
In this bonus episode, hosts Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis discuss Jim’s discovery of "Davy Crockett" by The Headcoaties, an all-female garage band led by Billy Childish. They explore Childish’s prolific output, the band’s history, and the song’s release via Sub Pop’s Singles Club.
