LINE UP: ALIEN ANT FARM (USA) & CKY (USA)
Did you catch them at Big Day out 2002 or Edgefest 2004? Now 20 years later ALIEN ANT FARM are back!
You might think you know Alien Ant Farm. Think again. Almost a decade after their last album 2014’s Always and Forever, the soCal Alt Metal Four Piece - Vocalist Dryden Mitchell, Guitarist Terry Corso, Bassist Timmy P, and Drummer Mike Cosgrove have returned with ~mAntras~. It’s a record that will not only challenge your preconceptions of the band, but will also firmly reassert their place in the world
After such a long time without making new music, there’s obviously a lot for them to catch up on. As it happens, they’d tried to do this earlier. The band had recorded four of its songs a number of years before - including “Everything She Wants”, a cover of the classic Wham! Track that was first released in 2020 - but then things kind of stuttered because of the pandemic
Alien Ant Farm has encountered a lot of adversity since blowing up in 2001 with two iconic songs “Movies” and then their classic generation-defining cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” but none more so between the release of ‘Always And Forever’ and this record. It’s no surprise, then, that a lot of it has been captured on the 11 tracks that make up ‘~mAntras~’
Joining Alien Ant Farm is legendary rockers from Pennsylvania CKY who last toured in New Zealand in 2010
Once upon a time, CKY burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic, hard rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that, decimated relationships and reputations in its wake
Chad I Ginsburg, the band’s guitarist and singer, steps into the frontman role with charisma, charm, and bravado, confidently delivering a diverse performance as he claims a position that was clearly rightfully his to own
He’s joined in enduring partnership and musical and personal chemistry by fellow CKY cofounder, Jess Margera, the drummer whose extracurricular work in projects like The Company Band (with guys from Clutch and Fireball Ministry) expanded CKY’s horizons as much as Ginsburg’s solo work has as well.
Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, and Deftones have all personally invited CKY on tour, cementing a legacy as a hard-charging live act. CKY built a worldwide fanbase of dedicated acolytes, friends, and supporters, lovingly dubbed the CKY Alliance, with a broader group of musicians, athletes, and other creative types in the CKY family, both literally and figuratively.
