Team to Fight Aids http://www.thetripwire.com/news/2009/09/17/bono-antony-courtney-love-team-to-fight-aids/ http://www.thetripwire.com/news/2009/09/17/bono-antony-courtney-love-team-to-fight-aids/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:30:44 +0000 Michael McGregor http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=29841 Web

(RED), the famous Aids awareness organization, is joining forces with some of its BFF’s to throw a benefit concert. “Hal Willner Presents: An Evening with Gavin Friday and Friends” will feature performances from longtime friends and (RED) supporters like Bono, The Edge and Scarlett Johannson, as well as Shane McGowan and Courtney Love, who, if anything, will help sell tickets by appearing as toothless trainwrecks. The event, to be held at the Carnegie Hall in New York City, will also feature Laurie Anderson, Antony, Elizabeth Ashley, Adam Clayton, Andrea Corr, Flo & Eddie, Joel Grey, Bill Frisell, Guggi, Scarlett Johansson, Lydia Lunch, Patrick McCabe, Maria McKee, Eric Mingus, Larry Mullen, Jr., JG Thirlwell, Martha Wainwright, Rufus Wainwright and Chloe Webb, as well as surprise guests. Tickets go on sale at 11am (here), so get your AMEX out, as you do not want to miss Kanye inevitably telling the Wainwright Siblings that they are good, but their Dad made one of the best albums of all time. Hopefully (RED) will have Courtney Love live tweet the event.

On August 4, Antony and the Johnsons will release a double A-side single featuring “Aeon” off of their critically acclaimed album “The Crying Light” as well as an official cover of Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love,” which has been a live favorite of the band for some time. They will also be releasing a 7″ through Secretly Canadian on August 3. And, as an extra special bonus, those who pre-order the 7″ will receive a free copy of Zoetrope Magazine, Francis Ford Coppola’s quarterly mag, featuring some of Antony’s original artwork. Currently on the European leg of their world tour, the band will be playing with some of Europe’s best symphonies at some seriously fancy venues.
