Alien Ant Farm

October 10, 2011 -- ALIEN ANT FARM--Dryden Mitchell (lead vocals), Mike Cosgrove (drums), Terry Corso (guitar), Tye Zamora (bass)—performed as part of the Michael Forever tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales this past weekend along with Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Ne-Yo, Smokey Robinson and others.  The band performed two Michael Jackson songs:  their smash hit #1 single, a remake of “Smooth Criminal,” and “PYT (Pretty Young Thing).”

Guitarist Terry Corso commented:  “I honestly think it would be extremely hard for me or any of my band mates to really express how much of an honor it was for us to be included in the Michael Jackson Forever concert in Wales. It was literally one of the most exciting and surreal moments of our careers. From hanging out with Cee Lo Green in our dressing room to passing Smokey Robinson in the hall, it was the stuff dreams are made of for guys like us who grew up in a diverse musical landscape.  We are very taken by the fact that the Jackson family would keep us in their minds and include us in this special opportunity to pay tribute to the King of Pop alongside so many people that loved him. MICHAEL FOREVER!”

The Southern California band will start to work on their fourth album next month and is looking to release it Spring 2012.  It’ll be their first release since 2006's UP IN THE ATTIC, which spawned the hit single “Forgive And Forget,” and the first with the original line-up since 2003.

Also on the news front, Alien Ant Farm last week on October 4 announced they have signed a new label deal with Executive Music Group.
