I'm "assuming" the name 'Billy Mitchell's' Trainwreck comes from the combination of the names Billy Cowsill and Lindsay Mitchell. This is a band Billy was a part of during the years he lived in Vancouver. They are said to have opened for the likes of Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, The Shirelles, Del Shannon and Bo Diddley.
