WILD BILLY CHILDISH & CTMF: Keep Mojave Weird 7″ EP

Description

An American-themed four-song EP featuring ‘Keep Mojave Weird’ taken from the band’s House On Fire album plus three exclusive non-album tracks! Released on the same day as House On Fire (the band’s first new album in over three years), this EP is partly inspired by a recent US visit. Alongside ‘Keep Mojave Weird’ it also features a Bo Diddley-esque cover of Chuck Berry’s ‘Memphis Tennessee’, a new version of ‘Wile E Coyote’, and a brand-new instrumental called ‘Thaypo Fuel Station’.

Here’s Billy with the story behind the EP’s title track… “’Keep Mojave Weird’ is a tune about the road trip I took with my family to the Southwest in 2025. It mentions three UFOs which I saw over Pioneertown, the lone phone box they’ve got in the desert, The Mojave Indians weaving Blue Flax, and Captain Beefheart’s liking of Bo Diddley, all nodding to The Seeds. (Sky Saxon once told me that Thee Headcoats played the way The Seeds should have.)” Billy Childish 2026
