I rather like how they bolded the names of Patrick and Bishi (a la science vocabulary words in my anatomy text book...)

I have a lot of time on my hands:
There's a travelling music show out there that transcends space and time. oh how ominous.... Its first part comes from some geeky dance-rock kids called Young Fluxx who nervously riff electric guitars and show off on their futuristic techno-gadgets. they weren't futuristic at all, but if synths are the future then welcome to the 1980s... Then, a Indian dance-folk princesses called Bishi completely wows audiences with a unique concoction of traditional Indian beats, sitar, electro, sex and attitude. What the hell does this mean? "an" and "princess" would have made that better. I like how he said "sex" just because she's a girl and she just seems to exude it. Finally, and most amazing of all, an indie pop prince from a far away land called Patrick Wolf sucks his audience into the past with gender-bending costumes from a romantic era and delicate piano compositions, then blasts them forward into the future with electro-pop beats, dancing, orchestration, stripteases and streamers. Patrick Wolf is a far away land? When did that happen? And how come I wasn't invited. Gender bending costumes? A wig? and shorts? He wasn't wearing stilettos nor a bustier, but i'd like to see that happen. Strip tease? When did that happen? I guess removing one's coat when one is warm should count for a strip tease...I will announce that every time I remove my coat.
Such a spectacle happened in Toronto last Saturday night, contrary to Wolf's quiet claim that, "Believe it or not, I'm feeling shy tonight." But he didn't let this hold him back as he pranced onto the stage in full Beethoven get-up. Sparkling with gold and silver glitter from head-to-toe, the lanky singer was a breathtaking sight for both boys and girls, flirtingly staring down his not-quite-a-full-house audience with the enthusiastic opener, "Get Lost."
beg your pardon?
Wolf went on to play a solid mix of old as well as new songs from his latest album, The Magic Position, pleasing the eager audience and especially the front row, which consisted of sparkling, Wolf-worshipping youngsters who brought sunflowers, streamers, glitter and bubbles to add magic to the already enchanting concert. Yes we were glittery but we're not "youngsters" and Dimitri brought those flowers and he's in his mid to late 20s. It was a 19+ show afterall...
Despite being a performer for some time now, Wolf is an awkward young man on stage. But it's his awkwardness that makes him so loveable. It's not as if he's unsure of himself, it's that he tells ecstasy-taking douchebags to stop ruining the show for everyone else and throws out questions such as, "What is our generation anyway?" and "So, you think taking my clothes off is more glamorous because I'm European?" (This, after members of the audience encouraged him to strip off his mesh shirt and cut-off jean shorts.) "lovable" inappropriate choice of words (ie. douche bags) Awkward paragraph...
It's likely this encouragement that kept Wolf coming back to the stage. After a shower of flowers, rainbow-coloured ribbons and wild dancing to show closer "The Magic Position," Wolf and his band (made up of a cellist, violinist, drummer and programmer) frolicked back for two encores. The final song was fan fave "Bloodbeat," which turned into a freestyle '90s dance party with Wolf leading the audience in song to "Saturday Night," "Scatman" and Gina G's "Ooh Aah ... Just A Little Bit." They're called streamers...not ribbons. Cellist? When did Patrick get a cellist on tour? I believe you're looking for bass or upright bass. Seriously no one was sitting down to play the cello. You forgot Survivor.
At the end of the night, it felt as though everyone had suddenly snapped out of a spell and would do anything to fall back under it again. Not a bad closer...you should have started with this and worked your way back.
The End. I'm a bitch...

Excellent! I was wondering when the striptease occurred as well. And it's actually "Young Flux" with one 'x'. So there Chart Attack writer!

yea I thought it was with one x too, but then I thought he was right and that he paid attention to the openers more than the other acts?
That review is hilarious. Don't they have people to edit things before it is put up on the interwebs?

You just wanted to bring this back to the front page, didn't you? And yes, I do as well. I also miss the (very) early hours of Sunday, October 7th, when Patrick came on and then the fun, etc... happened. Not that the Saturday part of the night wasn't amazing, because it was. It definitely was. <3

I love that video SO much. I watch it when I want to remember the evening. Plus, I know when he looks at me in the vid, which is fear is the same time Jen said he looked at her, but clearly I know he looked at me Maybe he secretly has a lazy eye and looked at both of us? Gah! That video is soooo awesome!
