Rush album art by Christophe Chemin revealed!



Renowned French artist and illustrator Christophe Chemin has contributed a beautiful and haunting image to grace the cover of Tony Amhert's long awaited release, Rush. A long time fan of Chemin, Tony was smitten with his drawing immediately, remarking, "What Chritophe did was nail a piece of each and every one of the 23 tracks on my album into one captivating image."

Mais oui...

Tony Amherst to perform live in Berlin!

Tony Amherst will be making an extremely rare live appearance at the Exile Gallery in Berlin, July 31st 2010. The notoriously reclusive Tony was introduced to gallery owner Christian Siekmeier by good friend (and some say doppelgänger) Snax. Convinced by Siekmeier to come out of hiding, Tony will perform selections from his forthcoming CD in the gallery simultaneously during an exhibition curated by Billy Miller. Miller is the founder of the queer smut 'zine, Straight To Hell and Tony's performance will coincide with the release of a brand new edition of this trailblazing publication.

A limited edition CD release of Rush will be available for purchase at the gallery, with a special sleeve designed by artist Christophe Chemin.


You won't want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to hear..and see..Tony Amherst!
