Title: Democracy Now! - The Ants - Funny Stuff :)

What the hell were you thinking releasing a record called "Chinese Democracy'?

Chad: "Chinese Democracy" is the working title of the Guns N' Roses album that has been in the works since like 1998. They've spent like $20 million and there's still no album, and The Offspring said they were going to name their album "Chinese Democracy" just to kind of give 'em a jab. It never happened, so just being fans of Axl Rose in general we figured that we would go ahead and show him how to make an album.

Have you heard back from him yet?

Chad: Not yet. We're waiting on the cease-and-desist letter.

Brad: I keep calling him and he won't return my calls.

What would you say to Axl if he called you?

Review :: The Ants, "Chinese Democracy"
By Richard Gintowt (Contact)

There are probably very few people in Lawrence who are familiar with The Ants. This is largely due to fact that the band rarely plays around town, which may have something to do with a rotating membership that previously featured out-of-state members. Singer-songwriter Chad Bryan currently resides in Overland Park, however, indicating that we may see The Ants emerge in the near future.

"Chinese Democracy" is a split vinyl-only release that features three songs apiece from The Ants and Nashville's Ole Mossy Face. The Ants' rough-around-the-edges lo-fi sound is presented in borderline hi-fi, a notable improvement over the band's last release "Victory Side." Chad Bryan can be a tough nut to crack with his penchant for outsider folk-rock, but these three songs invite the listener in a little bit closer than the often inaccessible "Victory Side."

Ole Mossy Face comes across as the better-rehearsed band, fusing R.E.M.-style guitar rock ("Call On Me") with a laid back alt-country vibe reminiscent of Drive-By Truckers. ("Donkeymaster"). Fans of Lucero, Li'l Cap'n Travis and Ol' Yeller would do well to check out these fellows.

Though The Ants and Ole Mossy Face share members on "Chinese Democracy," the two groups may not appeal to the same type of listener. Ole Mossy Face is the more instantly appealing of the two, while The Ants require a degree of patience due to the group's meandering vision. All things considered, this split release is a worthy introduction to both.

That makes me embarassed to be from Kansas.   Bands that put out a CD titled Chinese Democracy must flat out suck.  If I had a band (that sucked) I would do the same thing to get attention.
