Music
The best kept secret in music
Press
"While they obviously love touring, they also get a lot of love from their hometown crowd. They just won the Georgia Straight's Readers Poll for Best Band, while their sophomore release Breaking Down the Barriers that Break Down Your Music won Best Album." - Vue Weekly Magazine (Edmonton, AB)
"One of Canadas rising stars." - See Magazine (Edmonton, AB)
"From the moment they hit the Royal stage in front of a full house, Billy and the Lost Boys tear it up. This Vancouver trio definitely lives up to its hype, much of which revolves around Billy, an excellent guitarist and super rocker." - Shawn Conner (Vancouver, BC)
"Billy the Kid looks like a librarian, but backed by her band, the Lost Boys, she really rocks." - Exclaim! Magazine (Canada)
"Billy is a DIY poster girl." - Vue Weekly Magazine (Edmonton, AB)
"Billy the Kid plays like a woman possessed. The term woman should be used sparingly; she actually looks like the kind of girl that youd politely ask to borrow a pen from in your English 110 class. The only difference is that once she has a guitar in her hand, Kid makes Joan Jett look like a pussycat...Billy's the type of front person punk needs." - Chartattack (Canada)
"Billy the Kid from Billy and the Lost Boys. On the outside she seems like this cute little punk rock girl but when she gets onstage, her confidence really comes through. She rocks out with the best of them." - The Georgia Straight (Vancouver, BC)
"The intensity of Billys vocals, the precision of her words and the tight playing of the band makes it all sound fresh again." - Vancouverindie.com (Vancouver, BC)
"Billy the Kid might only be 21, but shes already made quite an impression around town. In fact, she was recently a peers choice in the Local Musician You'd Most Like To Get Drrrty With category for the second year in the Straight's Best of Vancouver issue." - Shawn Conner (Vancouver, BC)
"Anthemic and ferocious." - Trevor Hargreaves (Canada)

Bio
One of Canadas rising stars. - Fritz Francois of See Magazine
(Billy) always stood apart from the pack with true street-level integrity, an almost Mennonitish indie-rock work ethic and outstanding musicianship." - Ferdy Belland of the Nerve Magazine
Billy is a DIY poster girl. - Chad Hucalak of Vue Weekly
"Prolific and incredibly talented." - Gerry Krochak of the Leader-Post
To see a fearless young woman with china-doll beauty ruling the roost behind horn-rimmed spectacles and an overdriven Gibson SG is enough to send anyones heart (regardless of gender or sexual orientation) bursting free from even the most jaded ribcages, to land frantically beating at Pettingers tiny Converse Allstar-clad feet sigh Ferdy Belland of the Nerve Magazine
"(Billy)'s the kind of thorough, do-it-yourself poster girl that will go to hell and back in order to put out a good record." - Lisa Schindel of Beatroute Magazine
Most Bootylicious Local Musician: Billy the Kid from Billy and the Lost Boys. On the outside she seems like this cute little punk rock girl but when she gets onstage, her confidence really comes through. She rocks out with the best of them. - The Georgia Straights Best of Vancouver
If you need any inspiration to keep your New Years Resolution I shall cast off the shackles of procrastination and actually do something with myself in 2005, look no further than a young lady who goes by the name of Billy the Kid. Chartattack
(Billy)'s many musical endeavors are starting to pay off and no one deserves it more. After a chat with this winsome pixie, it would be difficult to dislike her." Chris Courtie of the Gauntlet Magazine
Precociously gifted. Shawn Conner of the Georgia Straight
