In 1988, Billy James (Ant-Bee) signed to the notorious Los Angeles record company Voxx/Bomp Records. The first Ant-Bee album was Pure Electric Honey, and received rave reviews worldwide. The album also featured guest performances by Bob Harris (Frank Zappa) and Rick Snyder (Captain Beefheart). During the early 90's James / Ant-Bee began a long (and current) relationship with the original ex-Mothers Of Invention (Bunk Gardner, Don Preston, Jimmy Carl Black, Motorhead and Roy Estrada).
The Ant-Bee was the first to reunite the original Mothers and record them together in 25 years!!! From this unique collaboration came the second Ant-Bee album With My Favorite Vegetables & Other Bizarre Muzik (released Divine Records UK 1994). It also sold very well and received massive press and airplay worldwide!!!
