We told you once and now we’re telling you again – BOW WOW WOW are heading to a venue near you.
BOW WOW WOW were formed by Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren in 1980 who recruited members of Adam & The Ants and new vocalist Annabella Lwin (also originally including Boy George as second vocalist before he left to form Culture Club).
The debut BOW WOW WOW single was ‘C-30,C-60,C-90 GO!’ which was released on cassette only initially reaching #34 in the UK singles chart in 1980. The band’s debut LP ’See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah! City All Over, Go Ape Crazy’ was released which contained the band’s first top 10 hit ‘Go Wild In The Country’. BOW WOW WOW toured at the time with The Pretenders, Madness, Queen, & The Police.
In 1982, a cover of ‘I Want Candy’, originally released in the 1960’s by The Strangeloves, became the first transatlantic BOW WOW WOW hit single. After splitting in 1983, Annabella formed The Naked Experience working with Guy Chambers, Jason Nevins and Utah Saints amongst others.
