    Incident with Chad Ginsburg of CKY in Margate, UK

    Everything you need to know about today’s Chad Ginsburg (CKY) incident, here’s a quote from Dryden Mitchell:

    Sadly, Chad from CKY hasn’t figured out how to cohabitate with others after all these years. They will no longer be on the Alien Ant Farm Tour through the rest of the UK shows after Chad punched me in the face earlier today. I’ve watched him treat multiple crew members and opening band members like trash through the Europe shows and cause general drama around our camp.

    Before the last Europe shows I went to Chad and asked if he had any issues with anyone specifically and if he wanted to have a meeting with the whole crew and bands to discuss what’s going on, he up ended the table in the dressing room and threw his phone, and then cancelled their show….

    Today we still had business things to square away and I told his manager what a problem Chad was being, verbally, as well as fuckin up the bus with all of his messes every day for other people to clean up… Well he punched me in the face and pretty much ran away like I imagine he’ll do for all of his future problems. I’m grateful for my sobriety and grateful that I didn’t retaliate physically in any way whatsoever. I would love these shows to continue and apologize to all the CkY fans for Chad’s behavior.

    We have zero hard feelings for Jess and Elvis in CKY and are gutted to see them go, but I will never knowingly put myself in volatile situations so this had to end.

    After suffering a C1 And C2 Fusion (Spinal Fracture) From a Bus Crash years ago, I hope that everything is ok in that area. Shows will continue without CKY, and we hope everyone still wants to come enjoy positive evenings with us, including CKY fans. If you don’t, we understand and refunds will be issued accordingly. Stay safe everybody. And Chad, Go To The Gym… After That, Find A Therapist, And Maybe In 25 Years… We Can Shake Hands. Until Then Though…. GET HELP.

    Love Dryden

The track is taken from ALIEN ANT FARM’s upcoming album, “~mAntras~”, to be released April 26, 2024.

    ALIEN ANT FARM is confirmed to perform at Welcome To Rockville 2024 with the likes of FOO FIGHTERS, EVANESCENCE, DISTURBED, SLIPKNOT, FLYLEAF and more. The band will also perform in Ashland, Kentucky on June 8 at Paramount Arts Center.

  • Some AAF news, ANTarchy tour across the USA!

    Hello guys, long time no news here but Alien Ant Farm has lost Tye Zamora. I’ve met Tye (and Wes Borland!) during the Orange Warsaw Festival here in Poland on June 14th when he worked with Limp Bizkit as their bass tech and he is an awesome guy! Had a chance to meet a lot of amazing people (including Kadaver and LB’s new DJ – Franko), had a few beers and ate some damn good burgers at Warburger (according to these guys the best they ever had in Europe!).

    Alien Ant Fans Post Tye Wes

    Alright, what about Alien Ant Farm now? The band seems to be doing just fine with their new bassist Tim who used to be their bass tech actually. They have their big tour planned out across the United States which is awesome, I bet some of you guys are going to see them live! And of course the record. I had a chance to listen to some of the mixed material already and believe me it’s beyond good – our good old Ant Farm. Can’t wait to put my hands on that, I imagine some of the fans had to be pissed off for such a long wait but I’d rather wait longer than have it unfinished I guess.

  • New album update!

    Always And Forever Update

    Long time since the last news post but there wasn’t anything new AAF related to post about… until now:

    Dear Pledgers,

    The album is officially almost halfway mixed. This is the slowest, most hurdle-ridden process we have ever been a part of in our near 20 years as a band. The people, entities and the components involved in the creation of this cursed record have continuously tripped us up, held us down and kicked most of the life out of our little band. We are very lucky to have any fight left in us and the only thing that might be saving the day is how good these mixed songs sound. Regardless of the seemingly constant bad luck, never ending problems and shady people trying to fade us, we never had any problem making music together. Me, Mike, Dry and Tye. Antfarm songs in Antfarm style. We write em for us and all of you. Not a label dude that’s hung up on how the kick sound from the new Flo-Rida song is gonna make us #1 (True story). So, please know, we are dredging through the very worse case scenarios any band could hope to avoid, on top of families, babies and health issues, by trying to follow a healthy lifestyle and diet from https://tophealthjournal.com/1480/jenny-craig-vs-nutrisystem-which-one-should-you-choose/.

    Of course in concerts and parties things can get crazy, and people living this kind of life is always at risk or becoming careless or developing addictions, so using psychedelic in a new way is an effective way of curing individual who is dealing with addiction, depression, or some other ailment that requires treatment. Go to experienceibogaine.com to read the full details about this therapy. However, we will push this fat evil baby of a record out if it destroys us and our band. Not much longer…… Hang in there…… Thanks for your patience.

    So keep on waiting Ant Farm fans, new album is just around the corner!!! 🙂 also, don’t forget to check out the jamaican black castor oil, which will help your hair grow.

  • Let Em Know with lyrics, check it out!

    ‘Let Em Know’

    what goes around comes around
    it’s almost circular and cyclical
    sometimes proportions can get biblical
    but when it comes to all the bullshit
    you gotta get invincible
    problems are miniscule

    when it all falls down
    there’s no mercy for the pitiful
    not to be political
    when it comes to yours and mine
    you know i want residuals
    i’m comin through kicking doors

    (chorus)

    Let em know i’m going straight to the top and when
    i’m done with this spot i’ll let you know
    Let it go i don’t need your opinion unless you’re telling me that i’m a pro
    Let em know!

    (verse 2)

    What does it take to get through to you?
    do i gotta light a god damn fire?
    and break some fuckin windows too!?

    we’re not here to be ridiculed
    i ‘ll show you how to be the man when the world tries to shit on you
    i wrote the operation manual
    i got it down to a science when i stripped it to the granule

    so you can never tear me down down
    no you can never wear me out
    so tell me what you really wanna do
    if you’re gonna give them hell you gotta be prepared to take it to

    (chorus 2)

    (bridge)

    This one is not for the broken
    this song is not for the hopeless
    only the strong survive and this is the opus
