Malcolm McLaren And The Bootzilla Orchestra

Malcolm McLaren And The Bootzilla Orchestra has been played on NTS shows including Radio Jiro, with Call A Wave (DFC Dance Mix) first played on 24 August 2015.

Malcolm Robert Andrew McLaren (22 January 1946 – 8 April 2010). In the late '60's he started designing clothes and in 1972 he opened a boutique in London with his girlfriend, Vivienne Westwood.

In 1975, Malcolm started a band which became arguably one of the best punk bands in history, The Sex Pistols. Malcolm became their manager.

In the 80's, after the Sex Pistols broke up, Malcolm became the manager of another band, Adam and the Ants. When Adam Ant left the band, Malcolm asked the 14 year old Annabella Lwin if she wanted to join the band and Bow Wow Wow was born.

While all of this was going on, Malcolm was making his own records- beginning with the single "Buffalo Gals" which has hip-hop influences. He next turned to opera, recording an adaptation of "Madame Butterfly".
