Thee Mighty Caesars were a Medway scene garage/punk group, formed by Billy Childish (vocals/guitar) in 1985 after the demise of The Milkshakes,{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/thee-mighty-caesars-mn0000490541/biography |title=Thee Mighty Caesars | Biography & History |publisher=AllMusic |date=1958-12-13 |accessdate=2016-07-31}}{{cite web|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=thee_mighty_caesars |title=Thee Mighty Caesars |website=TrouserPress.com |date= |accessdate=2016-07-31}} alongside John Agnew (bass) and Graham Day (drums), who initially was still also in fellow Medway band The Prisoners.

Bruce Brand (ex-Pop Rivets/Milkshakes) was replaced after the first album by Day, who later formed his own band The Prime Movers with fellow Prisoner Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard (ex-Daggermen). Childish/Brand then formed new band Thee Headcoats.
