All Ages Show*

www.bowwowwow.orgBow Wow Wow’s history may be short but it’s complex. Over their four album life span, Bow Wow Wow’s music ranges from simple, goofy, non-sensical tunes to complex, crisp pop masterpieces. Bow Wow Wow’s music has been described as a pastiche of Latin and African beats, 50’s rock-n-roll, and spaghetti western soundtracks. The band packaged all of this together with an incredible sense of humor and vigor.

The Beginnings-

The year is 1980 and the place is London. Adam and the Ants were moving away from their “Dirk Wears White Sox” punk days, adopting the driving rhythms of the central African Burundi tribe, the war paint of Native Americans, pirate costumes and swashbuckling antics. This change came about through the mechanisms of the ex-manager/ image consultant of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren. According to legend, after charging £1,000 for his advice and consultation, the Ants (Dave Barbarossa, Matthew Ashman, and Leigh Gorman) fell prey to McLaren’s charm and left Adam to find other Ants.

Current Line-up consists of Annabella Lwin, Co-Founder Leigh Gorman, Co-Founder Dave Barbe, Phillip Gough and No Doubts grammy award winning drummer Adrian Young.
