Adam & The Ants
Artist Overview
Adam & The Ants started out in the late-'70s London punk scene, but former Sex Pistols manager Malcom Mclaren turned their image around. By 1980 they were part of the brief "new romantic" scene, wearing outrageous clothes that combined pirate gear with Native American warpaint. Their sound was a fresh bricolage of bubblegum pop, Burundi drumming, and spaghetti western themes. Their unique visual and musical style brought the band fleeting but grand success, after which Adam embarked on a solo career that included work in films and TV.
