We are PROUD to announce that we have NO association whatsoever with adam-ant.net. We DID. but now we don't. This page is for appreciation of THE ANTS. THE REAL ANTS.
Long ago in London town
a man called Ant sat deeply sighing
he was wondering
which side of the fence he was on
prick up your ears...
time went by and soon
the one was five young hombres
burning fire
they were in no doubt
which side of the fence they were on
prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...
he who writes in blood
doesn't want to be read
he must be learned by heart
he's got to be learned by heart
they believed in sex and looking good
with their own brand of music
they weren't pandering
so which side of the fence...
are YOU on?
A dandy welcome to all ant-fans, old, and "new."
In the first incarnation of this page we were heartily moved and impressed with the amount of "friends" we gained in a very short time.
ANTMUSIC was, and STILL IS a unique form of music, we welcome the friends who were lucky enough to be around in 1981, and we embrace the new young post-punksters who are discovering our sound.
Onto the new...
ALL the ANTS are still VERY active in the music industry, through this page you can keep up with their activities, and we are sure you will love the NEW music too.
Let's catch up. Where are they now?

Played his first live show for 11 years at the bloomsbury theatre in London, on September 24th 2007. Currently working on a possible book release of his artwork from down the years.
Marco:

Terry Lee:
After far too long away, Terry Lee has now returned to the recording studio, after joining forces with Cat Mantra and MANTRA II.
Terry still retains all his drumming excellence, his aura, and his hair!
MANTRA II's new album is released in the UK on August 21st, and will incredibly be Terry's first studio release for 25 years.
Don't get us wrong, Terry has always carried on playing, but he preferred to stay out of the limelight for some time. He very much enjoyed sneaking into gigs and playing with his punk band "The Magnificent 7", which is also still rocking. (Now known as "Spirit of 76.")

Kevin Mooney:
Still a youngster! Kevin has only recently passed the big 4-0 mark, incredibly! He has also continued to record and play. Including a project with former RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE member Gary Asquith. That project is known as: THE LAVENDER PILL MOB.
Kevin has recently joined the ranks of "The Imbeciles.", an impressive new millenium/electro sounding project which, funnily enough, is signed to Marco's own label "Only lovers left alive."
He ALMOST also did a guest spot on MANTRA II's new album, but as THE IMBECILES came along, he cried off!
THE IMBECILES have live dates coming up in the UK this summer, check their page for details.
UPDATE - As of July 2006 Kevin has parted company with The Imbeciles, we'll update you on his latest project/s asap.
