Editing Marc and the Mambas (section)

===Post Mambas===
Almond has had a long career as a solo artist, and Mambas musicians have worked with him under the names The Willing Sinners and La Magia. Martin McCarrick left La Magia for [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]] in 1987, and the rest of that band dissolved in 1988. Lee Jenkinson (guitar) recorded a single with producer [[Flood (producer)|Flood]] under the band name The Poppyfields, and is currently in the band Jellynail. Almond always kept in touch with some of the Mambas' core members like Anne Stephenson and Gini Ball (David Ball's ex-wife), who performed with him during his ''Sin, Songs And Romance'' gigs at the Almeida in 2004. He frequently includes Mambas songs in his live repertoire.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/marc-almond/2004/almeida-theatre-london-england-63f452f7.html|title=Marc Almond Setlist at Almeida Theatre, London|website=Setlist.fm|access-date=25 April 2022}}</ref>

When [[Anohni]] from [[Antony and the Johnsons]] curated the [[Meltdown Festival]] in London in August 2012, one of the acts on the bill was Almond, who performed the album ''Torment and Toreros'' in its entirety. A few months prior to the performance, Almond stated on his webpage that ''Torment and Toreros'' "wasn't a great success at the time of release, it was mostly critically panned. It was called a 'florid musical mess', a description I quite liked", but added that "In recent years it has been re-evaluated and re-appreciated as a (flawed) masterpiece, as I always hoped it would be. It is a dark album with themes of madness, depression, isolation, alienation, innocence lost and destructive love, all seen through a prism of fame. A nervous breakdown committed to vinyl".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thequietus.com/articles/09690-meltdown-festival-2012-review-antony-hegarty-lou-reed-laurie-anderson|title=The Quietus &#124; Features &#124; Three Songs No Flash &#124; Stellar Systems: Antony Hegarty's Meltdown Festival Reviewed|website=The Quietus|access-date=25 April 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/aug/12/antony-meltdown-review-festival-2012|title=Antony's Meltdown – review|date=11 August 2012|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=25 April 2022}}</ref>
