Not only would Adam Ant be rockin&#8217; the standards, but the tour was launched in conjuction with his upcoming album, &#8220;Adam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner&#8217;s Daughter.&#8221;\u00a0 Yea, I know.\u00a0 The word you&#8217;re looking for is &#8220;Anyways&#8230;&#8221;\u00a0 So, yea, that&#8217;s the name of the album and he&#8217;s sticking to it.<\/p>\n<p>Affectionately entitled, Adam Ant &amp; the Good, the Mad &amp; the Lovely Posse, the band arrived at the Majestic Ventura Theatre towards the tail end of the tour.\u00a0 The place was packed with many old and just as many newer fans who were made up in &#8220;Ant-like&#8221; garb and make-up; people in the know call them Ant People.\u00a0 The anticipation was thick in the air. People were smiling, happily waiting for Adam to take the stage to a sold out crowd. Soon enough, the lights went down, the band took the stage and Adam Ant promptly took his spot immediately commanding the room&#8230;and just as quickly, the crowd embraced Adam and all his glory dressed in his familiar pirate-like garb.\u00a0 The old familiar songs blended extremely well with the newer ones and the joint never stopped rocking.\u00a0 I loved the dual drummers, and singers in costume changes; it was a feast for the eyes and ears. Time and time again when the band would fire up the next tune, people would smile and look around as they recognized their favorite songs and again, the room would start dancing.\u00a0 It was a fun night watching a true Brit icon.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very much looking forward to the release of \u201cAdam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner\u2019s Daughter\u201d which is scheduled to release January 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Set List:<\/p>\n<p>PLASTIC SURGERY<br \/>\nDOG EAT DOG<br \/>\nBEAT MY GUEST<br \/>\nKICK<br \/>\nCAR TROUBLE<br \/>\nANTS INVASION<br \/>\nDEUTCHER GIRLS<br \/>\nSTAND AND DELIVER<br \/>\nROOM AT THE TOP<br \/>\nKINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER<br \/>\nWONDERFUL<br \/>\nWHIP IN MY VALISE<br \/>\nVINCE TAYLOR<br \/>\nSTRIP<br \/>\nDESPERATE NOT SERIOUS<br \/>\nCLEOPATRA<br \/>\nNEVER TRUST A MAN<br \/>\nZEROX<br \/>\nANTMUSIC<br \/>\nGOODY TWO SHOES<br \/>\nVIVE LE ROCK<br \/>\nCHRISTIAN D\u2019OR<br \/>\nLADY\/FALL IN<\/p>\n<p>ENCORE<\/p>\n<p>FAT FUN<br \/>\nRED SCAB<br \/>\nPRINCE CHARMING<br \/>\nGET IT ON \/ 20TH CENTURY BOY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Ant&#8217;s performance at the Majestic Ventura Theatre Friday, October 19, 2012.
