Adam and the Ants were a British rock band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were one of the bands at the time that marked the transition from the 1970s punk rock era to the New Wave/post-punk era.
Dirk Wears White Sox is Adam and the Ants' first album, released on Do It Records in 1979, before Adam (born, Stuart Leslie Goddard) went on to fame with "Kings of the Wild Frontier."Dirk Wears White Sox features a much more eclectic, sometimes brooding sound than Ant's later work. Many of the songs, notably "Cleopatra" and "Never Trust a Man (With Egg on his Face)" remained a part of Adam Ant's live repertoire throughout his career, both with the Ants and later as a solo artist.
The "Dirk" of the title refers to classic British film icon Dirk Bogarde. No title track was featured on the album, although a song entitled Dirk Wears White Socks (sic) had been played extensively at the band's live concerts during 1977-78 and a demo recording of it had been made at Free Range Studios, London in August 1977. This demo was due to have been released on the cancelled DVD compilation Digital Tenderness accompanying some 8mm film footage of the Ants in concert from 1977.
