girls screaming hysterically and are out to rip guys excited hands dancing in the air and so good it just goes in the narrow space. It is hot, the crowd is large, the flashes of digital cameras are in continuous use. Punks in the audience, among young female students with a handbag, here and there stands out a glittering, gaudy fashion relic from the eighties from the set - rarely is the audience in the track 22 so as mixed on Tuesday night.
Responsible for the crowds and the enthusiasm of the barely 26-year-old Patrick Wolf. In his early years he already has four albums on the account and has long acted as a true successor to David Bowie. Its interaction with ambiguous sexual roles, the eccentric musical versatility and self-presentation has internalized Wolf and revived. For his new album he first worked with other musicians accompanying him on tour a four-piece band.
But on stage he is the absolute center of his musicians and not as servants. He repeatedly tells the mixer, adjust the volume minimal - Wolf is a perfectionist in every detail, and he mastered the art of the perfect staging: Exotic painted, striped with black plastic cape and feather boas does he takes his place in center stage, and raises his arms imploringly. Impressive his deep voice, his eyes sad, his theatrical gestures - all eyes are now focused on him.
But the sublime preacher is only one of his many roles in the following 90 minutes concert Wolf plays the glam-rockers as mighty as the sensitive Barden, is at times vulnerable and introverted, and sometimes as eccentric limelight. His music combines the Synthpop and the aesthetics of the 80s with heavy metal and hard rock, is the stomping dance beats of "Vulture" as much a privilege as the naive pop of "Magic Position".
Patrick Wolf moves so skillfully beyond genre and taste boundaries and unites all the apparent contradictions to his music and his person, dazzling picture of an eccentric pop star, a fictional character beyond the standard, which can not set themselves musically, stylistically and sexually.
