| Comment | Antony Hegarty - piano, vocals
Steven - guitar Sierra Casady - backing vocals on Hope There's Someone An earlier Antony show from the short European tour last year supporting Coco Rosie. No Johnsons, just Antony on piano with guitar accompaniment from Steven (I remembered him being introduced with a full name on the night but another listen to this show proves me wrong...) Wonderful to hear the songs so naked. Antony is also very funny (treating us to verses from his forgotten song cycle, Cliffs of Dover.) But not quite as funny as the two gentleman directly in front of me find him. Their chemically enhanced appreciation of subtleties lost on the rest of us is here preserved for eternity. Sierra from Coco Rosie comes out and adds her unmistakable operatic voice to Hope There's Someone. Before you ask, i tried, but failed, to record their set. Which is a shame as they were as strange and enchanting as ever. The show was recorded a little quietly - and in bumping up the sound, an amount of hiss becomes apparent too. Otherwise a pretty nice sound however - vocals very clear and upfront. And a beautiful show, of course. Haven't heard any other tapes from this tour - or anything earlier at all. Do recordings of any of the NYC theatrical / gallery shows exist? Antony has had a fabulous year - and he deserves it all. If you haven't already, buy the records - you know you need them.
