Adam and the Ants-
Adam and the Ants were an English rock band that formed in London in 1977. The band existed in two versions, both of which were fronted by Adam Ant , between 1977 and 1982. The first phase began when the band were founded in May 1977 and were called The Ants until November of that year. They later changed their style from punk rock to post-punk and new wave , and released one album. The final line-up of this version consisted of Dave Barbarossa , Matthew Ashman , and Leigh Gorman —all of whom left the band in January 1980 at the suggestion of manager Malcolm McLaren to form Bow Wow Wow .
The second version of Adam and the Ants included guitarist Marco Pirroni , and drummer-and-producer Chris Hughes , and was noted for its use of Burundi drums . This band existed from February 1980 to March 1982, and achieving major commercial success in the UK.
