Billy Goat was a band playing rock, funk, and Latin styles from 1989 to 1997 that frontman Mike Dillon later described as "a funk-punk band in the vein of the Red Hot Chili Peppers." Originating in Denton, Texas, Billy Goat was popular in the Dallas and Austin scenes, including Deep Ellum, and became known for its wild stage antics. A tour van crash caused turmoil, which was one documented reason for the band's disbandment. Putting music ahead of antics, the band reformed with a new line-up in Kansas City prior to the 1995 release, Black and White. The more recent project of Dillon, Go-Go Jungle, has ties to Billy Goat's second incarnation, including band members Go-Go Ray and J.J. Richards.
