Has anyone else had the extreme priviledge of seeing Antony live? I saw him last night and was thoroughly blown away. I knew he would be good but fuckin hell.... he was incredible. Parker Kindred was on drums too; I feel doubly priviledged to witness one of Jeff Buckley's band members live. All the Johnsons did well though.

Spoke to him before soundcheck too, he was very sweet and chatted with me for a fair while. A wonderful, unique and highly talented individual.

I've not really heard enough of them to pass judgement, but what I have heard didn't particularly stand out or leave any form of lasting impression. I'd heard big things, so it was a bit of a dissapointment
