NewsPatrick Wolf wins over LA crowdPatrick Wolf charmed a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour in Los Angeles last night (May 16). Performing his first LA show in four years, he ran through tracks from all three of his albums, focusing on the most recent, 'The Magic Position', and frequently choosing songs at random to the surprise of his bandmates. Wolf was backed by a viola/violin player, a double bass, a drummer and a laptop -- a far cry from his 2003 tour, which he told the audience consisted of he and his manager driving from city to city without a visa and sneaking into clubs because he was underage. Dressed in shorts, suspenders and a gingham shirt that he tore off by the end of the night, he leapt across the stage and theatrically threw his 6'4" body to the ground. "This song was written when I was a troubadour with nothing but a ukulele on my back and a ticket to Cornwall," he said when introducing the song 'Tristan', and the crowd went wild. During the evening, Wolf sang lyrics from Justin Timberlake's 'Sexy Back' and referred to Paris Hilton's latest escapades, singing, "Paris Hilton got sent to jail." He also spontaneously broke into a rendition of 'Moon River' from the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Wolf said goodnight after an hour-and-a-half set, and was brought back for an encore by an extremely enthusiastic crowd. He concluded with the rousing 'Accident & Emergency' and 'A Boy Like Me'. Wolf played: 'Overture' 'Get Lost' 'To The Lighthouse' 'Pigeon Song' 'Tristan' 'Bluebells' 'Libertine' 'Childcatcher' 'Moon River' 'Stars' 'Magic Position' 'The Fiddle & The Drum' 'Accident & Emergency' 'A Boy Like Me' The Horrors get ripped to pieces at Glastonbury The Horrors' Faris Badwin got his T-shirt ripped to shreds at their Glastonbury performance today (June 24). The band played a raucous set on the John Peel stage which saw Badwin jump into the crowd during 'She Is The New Thing' and got mauled by fans. In prelude to the festival, the band posted on Wednesday (June 20) on TheHorrors.co.uk: "If you believe the weather reports, this weekend the skies will split open, rivers of mud will flow and thousands of people will be soaked to the bone at the Glastonbury Festival. "In the midst of this potential carnage The Horrors will perform their very first Glastonbury set. It all seems rather fitting, doesn't it?" The band's trademark mayhem saw Badwin leaping on the lighting rig during 'Sheena Is A Parasite' and dancing manically during 'She In The New Thing'. The band played: 'No Love Lost' 'Count In Fives' 'She Is The New Thing' 'Death At The Chapel' 'Jack The Ripper' 'Draw Japan' 'Sister Leonella' 'Crawdaddy Simone' 'Sheena Is A Parasite' 'Gloves' |
