All-Music Guide Biography
Malcolm McLaren's big post-Sex-Pistols discovery boasted a
drum-heavy, almost tribal sound and a whiny, underage singer named
Annabella. Their moment in the sun consisted of two 1982 hits, "Do
You Wanna Hold Me" and a cover of "I Want Candy" by the Strangeloves.
~ Dan Heilman
Bow Wow Wow was a quartet organized by UK manager Malcolm McLaren
(best known as the mastermind behind the Sex Pistols) at the start of
the 80s. McLaren matched the trio of musicians who had constituted
Adam Ant's Ants (Matthew Ashman, b 1962, guitar; Leigh Gorman, b
1961, bass; and David Barbarossa, b 1961, drums) with teenage singer
Annabella Lwin (b Oct 31, 1965), retaining the earlier group's
African-derived drum sound. In 1983 Lwin quit the group for a solo
career, and the remaining three changed their name to the Chiefs of
Relief. Both Lwin and the Chiefs issued their own albums. ~ William
Ruhlmann,

------- AMG Album Reviews -------
The title remake of the Strangelove's hit was Bow Wow Wow's biggest. ~
Dan Heilman
This album largely recompiles Bow Wow Wow's first album, plus its LAST
OF THE MOHICANS EP. As such, it includes the hits "Go Wild in the
Country," "I Want Candy," and "Louis Quatorze" and presents the band's
urgent, rhythmic sound at its most consistent. ~ William Ruhlmann
