bunny

adam ant hits the news once again, dribbling out little bits of album news. really nice to hear he's recording a tribute to malcolm mclaren, his onetime mentor. the quietus (who are they?) posts the following:

The B-side, meanwhile, will be 'Goofy Bunny', which Ant describes as "like a lullaby" a tribute to the late Malcolm McLaren.

...

He added that he had no resentment toward McLaren for using the original members off his Ants backing back to form Bow Wow Wow. "I was sore, but not with Malcolm," Ant explained. "It wasn’t Malcolm who betrayed me. It was Dave (Barbarossa), Matthew (Ashman) and Leigh (Gorman). I’d only known Leigh for 10 minutes and I was pissed off because he was the best bass player I’ve ever fucking seen, still is."

always good to read compliments between former coworkers, instead of bitterness.

regarding the "bunny" track: that was a demo during the recording of prince charming, and can be heard here:


adam & the ants - who's a goofy bunny then


several years later, adam released a reworking of the track on his album, strip:


adam ant - libertine

i'm looking forward to hearing it anew.
