Bow Wow Wow was a . . McLaren persuaded guitarist Matthew Ashman , bassist Leigh Gorman and percussionist David Barbarossa of the original lineup of Adam & The Ants to leave Adam Ant and form a new group, fronted by teen singer Annabella Lwin . McLaren was also going to use Boy George (later of Culture Club fame) as a second lead singer, but he was deemed to be "too wild" for the band .
The group released three full-length albums before Lwin quit to pursue a solo career Bogdanov, Vladimir et al, eds. (2001). ''All Music Guide: The Definitive Guide to Popular Music'', p.49. ISBN 0879306270. , or was kicked out , in 1983 . Ashman went on to form Chiefs Of Relief , and in 1995 died from Diabetes complications. Lwin and Gorman reunited to release '' Wild In The U.S.A. '' in 1998 , adding guitarist Dave Calhoun and drummer Eshan Khadaroo . CONTROVERSY Their label at the time, EMI, refused to promote the Cassingle "C30, C60, C90, Go" because it allegedly promoted home taping , as Side B was blank. EMI dropped the group after releasing its second single "W.O.R.K." Lwin's mother alleged exploitation of a minor for immoral purposes and instigated a Scotland Yard investigation and they were only allowed to leave England after McLaren promised not to promote Lwin as a "sex kitten" and to not use a nude photograph depicting Lwin as the woman in Manet's The Luncheon On The Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe), though the picture was used as the cover of an EP in 1982. (The photo was originally to be used for 1981's ''See Jungle!...'') Lwin was almost made to quit the band by her family over the publication of the photo. DISCOGRAPHY (UK) Albums
