Antony And The Johnsons to play orchestra shows on both coasts

Antony & The Johnsons have announced that they will play orchestra shows at famous venues in Los Angeles and New York to celebrate the release of a forthcoming EP.

The five-song EP is titled 'Another World', and is due out on October 7.

Antony Hegarty and his crew will perform with a 20-piece orchestra on October 14 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and on October 16 at New York's Apollo Theatre. They will play scores co-arranged by Hegarty and Nico Muhly.

Antony is also working on the full-length follow-up to 2005's Mercury Prize-winning album 'I Am A Bird Now', which is tentatively due out in January 2009.
