The Billies

About Me

Each one of us Billies met at Pleasant Hill Jr. High in Pleasant Hill, Oregon. After we graduated high school we moved into town and started playing instruments. Somehow we all made the big move to Portland about 10 years ago and it wasnt until last year that we decided to start rocking out together. We find our mutual love for classic rock, kickin' ass, and life-long friendship helps us conjure the spirit of rock and roll. We're having a great time not changing the world.
