Louis Quatorze ---------------------------------------------------- Pirates from the punkin' clubbin' swingin' London from the early eighties about the band: (copied from from www.hiponline.com) The band was formed in 1980 by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, who recruited disgruntled Adam and the Ants backup musicians Matthew Ashman (guitar), Leigh Gorman (bass), and David Barbarossa (drums). Legend has it that McLaren discovered the 14-year-old Myant Myant Aye (Burmese for "cool, cool, high") singing in a north London dry cleaners. McLaren changed her name to Annabella Lwin for English-speaking palates. Lwin was born in Rangoon, Burma and had migrated to England. With Annabella's voice, smarts and charm, she fit McLaren's vision of a musical experience that would be part high camp and high concept, with a huge dose of adolescent sex and innocence. The group christened themselves Bow Wow Wow. In 1980 and '81, Bow Wow Wow released a series of cassette singles and EPs on EMI, which were available only in the U.K. The band began to build a following by playing small gigs around London. One camp follower, then known as Lieutenant Lush, was invited to co-front the group with Lwin, but after he was booed off the stage at a 1981 gig he was dropped from the lineup. Lieutenant Lush later changed his name to Boy George and hit it huge with the band Culture Club. That same year McLaren, unhappy with the band's limited success on EMI, took the gang (now sporting Mohawks) over to RCA. Their first full-length album had possibly one of the most bizarre titles ever to grace an album cover, See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah! City All Over, Go Ape Crazy. The controversial U.K. album cover featured a tastefully posed nude 15-year-old Lwin. See Jungle!... spawned the band's first U.K. Top 10 hit, "Go Wild in the Country," however, in the United States, the group remained relatively unknown.
