A Ant

Adam Ant (Stuart Goddard) was born on November 3rd, 1954 and comes from the Marylebone area of London. His first involvement with the music industry was when he was at art school in North London playing with a band called Bazooka Joe. After this came a band called The B-Sides. Along with B-Sides members Lester Square and Andy Warren, he went on to form Adam & The Ants. Their first hit was 'Kings Of The Wild Frontier' in April 1980. After several hit singles, albums and varying line-ups, they disbanded and Adam continued on with a solo career, entering the charts with 'Goody Two Shoes'. The b-side, 'Red Scab', a live-in-the-studio affair, was consistent with Adam's policy of issuing non-album b-sides. Adam's first solo album was 'Friend Or Foe', the title track being released as a single, and finally giving him a significant penetration into the vast American market.
