While forming the new band, Ant and Pirroni, with future Culture Club drummer Jon Moss , re-recorded the Dirk Wears White Sox track ” Cartrouble Part 2 ” as a contract-fulfilling single for Do It. The label hired Hughes to produce the duo at Rockfield Studios in Wales, after which they asked Hughes to join. The label released the single under the title “Cartrouble” in March 1980, with Moss credited as “Terry 1+2”. Ant and Pirroni signed a publishing deal with EMI , and worked with Hughes and the rest of the band on new material at Matrix Studios in London. Stuart took these to prospective record companies while the band embarked on a 14-day Ant-Invasion Tour of the UK, which culminated in a show at Empire Ballroom .
