Thanks for choosing to fly with Minty. Thanks for all your kind words. Unfortunately, Minty are unable to answer your calls at the moment as Minty's front man is suffering from an expected case of death and is only responding to seances and possessing people, who to this day fill-up clubs, copying his look like clones as they are too unimaginative and creatively jaded to come up anything new and daring themselves as this man had pretty much pushed the blooded and glittered envelope as far as it could go. Sounds like a musical... This is a 'fan page', as Leigh Bowery, Minty's lunatic genius creator, died on New Years Eve 1994 after contracting menegitus due to his immune system crashing down harder than a thick veined law-suit. This was down to that trickiest of things, AIDs. R.I.P. USELESS MAN.

THIS JUST IN!
Did u know ....
That Minty were very active & succesful after Leighs death ? - even being shopwn on Top of The Pops ! lol
We performed 17 shows with Leigh & 46 without ?
That 80 % of Open Wide was written & recorded - sadly - without him.
That ALL our records were realeased after his death - including Useless Man.
That Leigh died NYE 1994/5 & we released our last record in 1997 (the Album) .
Of course Leigh was (and in many ways still is) our leader but there was ALLOT more to Minty than your page is telling. Far from stopping when leigh died we went into overdrive AND formed a 40 strong performance art collective called The Offset.
I havent been in touch before as we werent active HOWEVER we are about to release the 1st official Minty single in 10 years.
