Conceived in late October 1998 by fans disappointed with ANT2000 –
Adam Ant’s ‘Official News Service’ – the Ant Liberation
Front has been the principle democratic organisation for Antpeople from
the outset.
Devised as an alternative to ANT / Topnotch / ANT2000 in
response to a ten-year record of underachievement, Ant Lib’s criticisms
have always rested on the (mis)management of these ventures and not on
any individuals identified with them.
Ant Fans have never received an apology for a decade of lost cheques
and SAEs, therefore we believe that for their loyalty and passion, Antpeople
deserve much more from so-called ‘Official’ Adam Ant ventures.
We also believe that each Antperson – although bound by certain
common tastes and interests – are individuals and, regardless of
their own race, gender and nationality all have something to contribute
to Ant Culture ...and have the democratic right to publicly debate it.
Since our conception we have been developing our mission statement of
aims and objectives for the society and currently identify four main objectives
for the organisation:
- To promote Adam, the Ants, Antpeople and independent Ant Culture
- To provide an online forum for Antpeople to voice their opinions and a postal service for those without regular access to the Internet
- To co-operate closely with Adam, and the Ants wherever possible whilst
retaining the right to constructively discuss decisions that are not
in the fans interest
- To promote friendly links with other non-profit music fan organisations
Although offered ‘Official’ status by Adam himself directly
(the only website/organisation in current times to achieve this –
despite what you might read elsewhere), to be recognised as the ‘Official’
Adam Ant / Adam & the Ants Fan Club is NOT a primary aim of the Ant
Liberation Front.
However, with nearly 2,500 members as of Summer 2008, we strive for the
representation of Antpeople as a publicly recognised unit – and
currently, Antpeople have no ‘Official’ alternative.
To improve and grow, we need YOUR help & feedback...
