Punk Band Releases Tribute to Billy the Kid

August 28 2011, 12:45 PM

The Lucky Ones, a punk band from St. Catharines, Ontario (home to Alexisonfire, City and Colour) have just released a new song they wrote as a tribute to singer/songwriter Billy the Kid. How cool is that?

The song is written to, for, and about Billy the Kid… and if you know anything about this indie DIY girl's history, you'll agree that the lyrics are simply awesome.

Listen to the song below:

In related news, another tribute to Billy recently via a vegetarian hemp burger

named after her in Ottawa at the Baja Burger Shack (Voted Ottawa's Best Burger), the Billy Burger!

"Inspired by Singer/Songwriter Billy Pettinger", the Billy Burgers are made with southwestern black bean n' roasted chile, triple lentil n' curry, great greek quinoa caesar, asian bbq, sesame Thai and jamming Jamaican jerk. yum!

Not only do they sound out-of-this-world delicious, but 50 cents from every burger sold goes to support The Lost Youth Music Society. Now that's a class act.

Billy the Kid and The Lost Cause continue to inspire… what more could an artist ask for?
