ANTFEST 2007 was a groundbreaking event. THE biggest live ANTMUSIC show since the ants toured the world in the early eighties.
Hosted by MC Carty & former ANT Kevin Mooney, the best ANTMUSIC tribute acts in the world played alongside the amazing PUNK'D, and the ANT-inspired Happy Millionaire and, not to forget, MANTRA II. The band voiced by Cat Mantra, who's albums (released in the US & UK) have featured Marco Pirroni, Chris Constantinou, and prominently; Terry Lee Miall, (Now a permanent MANTRA member).

When you click on this page the first thing you hear is the MANTRA II CARTY MIX of "Man Called Marco". We are certain that most ANT fans realise this was originally released as an instrumental on the FRIEND OR FOE album.
Well... the story goes thus: In 2004 Cat Mantra of Mantra II was inspired to add lyrical melody to the track. He then sent it to Marco Pirroni to see what he thought of his work. Marco liked it and agreed that Mantra II could release it as part of their album "This is called Fantasy", which was released in the US in December 2004.
THEN, the ANT MIX MAESTRO, CARTY got to work on it, and produced the remix you hear today. THIS is the ANTHEM OF ANTFEST. We ARE stronger, and truthful, you see?
You can get your hands on the ANT/PIRRONI/ALEXANDER version in the UK HERE
and in the US HERE
TERRY LEE MIALL ON ANTFEST: "This is the BEST ANT event... since THE ANTS!"
KEVIN MOONEY ON ANTFEST: "That night was fucking amazing, THANKS to all the fans. Terry Lee's my friend!!"
