The Milkshakes are an English garage rock / beat / rock 'n' roll group formed in Kent. With their raw and energetic sound, they have become a staple in the music scene. Drawing inspiration from bands like *Thee Headcoats* and *The Delmonas*, The Milkshakes have created a unique blend of catchy melodies and gritty guitar riffs.
Led by the talented musician *Billy Childish*, The Milkshakes have gained a loyal following with their high-energy live performances. Their music is filled with infectious hooks and rebellious lyrics that resonate with fans of all ages.
Alongside other notable acts such as *The Buff Medways* and *The Chatham Singers*, The Milkshakes have played a significant role in shaping the garage rock genre. Their influence can be heard in the works of bands like *The Gories* and *Reigning Sound*. If you're a fan of raw, unapologetic rock 'n' roll, then The Milkshakes are definitely worth checking out.

The Milkshakes were mainly Mickey Hampshire (Git/Vox); Billy Childish (Git/Vox); Bruce Brand (Drums); Russ Wilkins (Bass) When punk rock group the Pop Rivets broke up in 1980, Billy Childish joined forces with Mickey Hampshire, a Pop Rivets roadie who had been performing in a group called Mickey and the Milkshakes with his cohort Banana Bertie. The two began writing songs together and the group released their first LP, Talking ’bout Milkshakes! in 1981. With Childish and Hampshire sharing guitar and vocal duties, Bruce Brand on drums, and Bertie on bass (later replaced by Russ Wilkins then John Agnew), the Milkshakes’ sound was a primitive blend of British beat groups, like the early Kinks at their toughest, and hard-rocking American guitar instrumentalists like Link Wray. This sound came to be known as the “Medway sound” and the core members have been playing a variation on it throughout their whole careers. The Milkshakes were a very prolific group, recording nine records in their four years together, and the band was very much a blend of Childish’s primitive songwriting and Hampshire’s more melodic leanings. The group also masterminded and backed a Medway girl group, the Delmonas. When Mickey left The Milkshakes in 1984 Childish, Brand and Agnew went on to form Thee Mighty Caesars. Mickey and Bruce now play in The Masonics along with Ludella Black from The Del Monas, and Russ lives in Scotland and fronts the Wildebeests as well as being Lord Rochester.
