antony and the johnsons discography

Antony and the Johnsons is a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City. The band is essentially the vehicle for singer Antony (full name Antony Hegarty).

Antony Hegarty is the leader of Antony and the Johnsons. He was born in Chichester, West Sussex, England in 1971 and moved to Amsterdam in 1977 for a period before settling in San Jose, California in 1981. As a teenager he was enthused by the British synth pop of the time — in particular emotive torch singers such as Marc Almond and Boy George. In 1990 he moved to Manhattan to complete a degree in Experimental Theatre at New York University and founded the performance collective Blacklips Performance Cult with creative partner Johanna Constantine. Current members include:

* Julia Kent (previously of Rasputina) - first chair cello
* Parker Kindred - drummer
* Jeff Langston - bassist
* Doug Wieselman - horns
* Maxim Moston - violin, arrangement
* Rob Moose - guitar, violin
