In 1980 at age 30 co-founded the infamous LA band, Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs. The Band became known for their raucous shows and heavy drinking and developed a devoted following on the 1980’s Los Angeles club scene.

Reverend Billy and ”The Church of Stop Shopping" were in Los Angeles last weekend. What transpired was performance activism both in theatre and on the streets. Specifically, two “Retail Interventions” took place one at WalMart (4/18) the other at Starbucks (4/19), afterwards stage performances were held at the campuses of Cal State L. A. and Cal State Northridge. The Reverend’s potent persona easily made converts in the struggle to end corporate dominance and restore “indy” businesses with a people over things society.
