Billy Club Thornton



Billy Club Thornton (born on October something, 1981 in Davis, California) is an American singer/songwriter. He is the current lead guitarist and drummer for The Ghost-Rig Truckers.

Early Life
Billy Club Thornton grew up in the nowhere backwater of Davis, California, along with brother and bandmate Stabbington Bear. His parents were hippies who didn't let him have any fun, so most of his knowledge of '80s pop culture is thanks to friends who had parents who didn't give a shit.

Musical Career
Thornton learned to play guitar in high school from a kindhearted janitor who had taken him under his wing, and soon started his first band, Limp Bizkit. After their first practice they changed their name to The Pressure Washers.

Thornton played in many bands before forming The Ghost-Rig Truckers, including The 16-Hour Trio, Dollface Santa, $nitche$ Get $titche$, Hold On I'm Almost Done Then I'll Pay Attention to You I Promise, The Shit-Talking Mushrooms , Whalehouse Boogie, and Colonel Stabbington's Moving Picture Show. Most of those were just names he wrote in a notebook during geometry class, but shut up.

Thornton co-founded The Ghost-Rig Truckers in October 2011 along with F. Murder Slaybraham.
