                    The band Alien Ant Farm was formed in 1995 in Riverside, California.  Terry Corso, guitarist, was the one who thought of the name Alien Ant Farm when he was day dreaming in his boring day job.  He thought that maybe aliens picked the best place for humans to live just like a kid would with an ant farm.

Alien Ant Farm is:
Dryden Mitchell : Volcals and Acoustic Guitar
(Terrence) Terry Corso : Eletric Guitar and Acoustic
Mike Cosgrove : Drums
Tye Zamora : Bassist, background volcals, and keyboard

*A new album!*
The album will be the DeLeo brothers' production debut and the first time AAF have returned to the studio since last year's bus crash which left singer Dryden Mitchell with a fractured vertebrae in his lower back. Dryden is now fully recovered.



 

Mitchell also added that the band chose the brothers, not only because AAF are fans of the STP(Stone Temple Pilots), but also because of their decade-long recording career which has focused more on albums than singles. "We wanted musicians in there and people who were very aware of harmony," he said, "I'm sure there are a lot of producers who are great piano players and vocalists, but we wanted someone who fit that description and had also been on the band side of things. We didn't want someone saying 'This is radio, this is radio,'' and by the time you're done you have a bunch of little radio songs, which might not be the best thing."
Dean
 Alien Ant Farm are about to find out how good Stone Temple Pilots' Dean and Robert DeLeo are at the producer type thing. The DeLeos, whose production résumé is currently the big empty, will man the boards for the Southern California rock band's still-untitled follow-up to 2001's ANThology.
Signing on with the DeLeos was a leap of faith, but Alien Ant Farm were convinced the guys could pilot them through the record because not only are AAF longtime STP fans, they're also impressed that the band's decade-long recording career has focused more on albums than singles.
When we met them it just didn't feel like a meeting," Mitchell said. "That's the kind of recording environment that we wanted — like, having a good time while we're doing it and then when we're done [realizing], 'Whoa, we just finished a record.' "
Alien Ant Farm and the DeLeos have been in pre-production for two weeks and will work on songs for another two weeks before recording begins in Los Angeles.
"We've already decided what songs are going to be used," Mitchell said. "We're just going to work out the kinks and work on the lyrics a little more and then just rehearse in the last week so that we can be a little quicker in the studio."

*If all goes well, Alien Ant Farm will have the album done by May for a fall release.*
