Alien Ant Farm Plan New Album, Will Tribute Michael Jackson

Alien Ant Farm, with original line-up, have a new deal with the Executive Music Group label via Fontana/Universal and will take part in the "Michael Forever Tribute" concert.

The band tells Antimusic.com "We are pretty excited for the year to come," declares guitarist Terry Corso. "We
just came off of a three-month tour in the U.S. that made us realize that with
the original line-up back together, we have fire and hunger again. That being
said, we can hardly wait to hit the studio and start putting a new record
together. We've been writing on and off for the past year and have a really good
pile of new material. Basically the goal is to write another pile. With a fresh
new collection, we hope to get our core fans excited, as well as turn some brand
new listeners on to the Alien Ant Farm sound and show the world we have a lot
more to offer than the average rock band"

On playing the Michael Jackson tribute show, "Being a part of the Michael Jackson tribute is an incredible honor for Alien Ant Farm," says singer Dryden Mitchell. "I love the idea that we will be
the only rock band there. Michael just won't stop providing HUGE platforms for
us to get noticed! My first concert was Michael Jackson on his Victory Tour at
Dodger Stadium when I was 10 years old. Fast forward to all that he has done for
my life. Simply amazing when I take a step back and try to take it all in. I
Love The Man! Incredible to say the least."
