Patrick Wolf And Friends Transcend Space And Time

There's a travelling music show out there that transcends space and time. 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. Then, a Indian dance-folk princesses called Bishi completely wows audiences with a unique concoction of traditional...

Patrick Wolf — "Damaris"

No Patrick Wolf video is complete without drama and theatrics, and Wolf's clip for The Bachelor's "Damaris" proves this. Wolf seems head over heels for the woman in this video — so in love, in fact, that it makes him writhe around in the dirt and smash his fists into the ground. The single, which is the third from The Bachelor, was...

Patrick Wolf Is Violent

Other publications have previously called Patrick Wolf a drama queen, and while we don't really enjoy the use of that term, his recent behaviour has us a bit concerned. Two years ago, his drummer apparently passed out during a performance in New York and the New York Times cited a blog entry which reported Wolf jumped up on stage and slapped his...

Patrick Wolf Storms Off NXNE Stage

I wasn't very familiar with Patrick Wolf or his music before Wednesday night. I'd read a handful of press clippings and was vaguely aware of his slightly over the top glam-worship, which is a notable commitment given that glam is, by definition, over the top. So I was intrigued when a close friend and journalist recommended we go see Wolf at...

Patrick Wolf: Gay Bashed?

A Madonna concert is probably one of the least likely places to get gay-bashed, but not if you're Patrick Wolf. Wolf (real name Patrick Apps), who's openly bisexual, says he was assaulted by security at a Madonna concert in September. He claims bouncers at the show handcuffed him and beat him up before throwing him out of London's Wembley Arena...

Patrick Wolf Assumes The Position

Every once in a while you talk to a musician at an awkward time, like right between two shows and four other interviews, for example. Patrick Wolf was in that exact predicament when ChartAttack spoke with him this past May while he was opening for Amy Winehouse and performing a show of his own. It's been a bit of a lightning rod year for the...
