Cadillac Bill is a long stemmed Texan weed from England. Creeping bent grass is also a long stemmed weed than grows throughout this planet. Together, they form a delightful blend of psycho surf and garage rock ‘a’ Billy—oozing together, ala The Cramps and The B-52’s. The high energy and circus-like stage show includes 18 feet of purple and red glittery backdrop, a 9 foot chrome Cadillac emblem, 2 bubble machines, flash pods, fire, lights, smoke and action! In a nutshell, that is the experience of the Creeping Bent performing, and it’s completely unforgettable, in the same way that shellshock trauma is unforgettable. The inter-dimensional space walrus known as Cadillac Bill currently exists within the confines of Canadianadiananadananada, but he can’t be contained for long. Now is the time to invite his horrific divine will into your life. It’s time to meet Cadillac Bill and the Creeping Bent.
Sometime back in the last century, Bill moved to Canada from England. He studied film at the U.C.L.A. and animation at Sheridan College. is first band was named The Edna, Mona Housewife Death Band, and lasted a creative but uneventful few years as Bill pursued his film-making passion. In the late 80s, Bill moved in with an up-and-coming band called The Cowboy Junkies, and it was at this time that he put aside film-making to tell stories via music. In the dingy Junkies practice space, and with upset neighbors complaining about the noise, The Creeping Bent soon sprouted and by 1990 had bloomed, flowerlessly into the long twisted weed that it now is. They also make music videos, even today. Avert thine eyes.
In the ensuing years, Cadillac Bill and the Creeping Bent has toured Canada many times, opening for such acts as The Headstones, Wild Strawberries, Big Sugar, The Tubes, Ray Condo, Teenage Head, Dread Zeppelin, The Gruesomes, Ween and Junkhouse. Cadillac Bill and the Creeping Bent were quarter finalists in the North by Northeast Internet Battle for the Bands, and semi-finalists in CFNY’s Canadian Music Search. They also performed for the COCA National Showcase, resulting in many nationwide University shows. The Cadillac Bill experience has now become a polished stage show of talented and eccentric characters, creating one of the most enjoyable live fiascos… as the Creeping Bent continues to strangle all the other flowers in the flowerbed of live music.

I have uncovered a dossier on Cadillac Bill himself, with more information should any scholar, madman, or rebel require it. Cadillac Bill’s work on his TV show is available on Amazon Prime and continues to give him more power for every millisecond that it is hosted. There’s bound to be some more news on this horrific disaster-in-progress soon… Cadillac Bill is also rumoured to be published by Blue Pie Publishing USA (ASCAP) Here’s a playlist of some sounds Cadillac Bill has made. There is no guarantee that these sounds will be human in nature. Enjoy them regardless if it is possible for your species to do so. I’m gonna bury myself and fall asleep and see if I can hibernate for a century, hoping Bill’s reign of darkness will be over by then.
