Last night I packed up my camera and headed on over to the Paradiso to check out the talents of the young Patrick Wolf, and I’ll certainly say one thing for him, he has some serious stage presence!
As you might expect from a typical Wolf gig he managed to go to town on a wide variety of instruments including the ukulele, piano and viola making the evening a veritable smorgasbord of musical diversity. Interestingly enough whilst performing his final song he even managed to slip out for a full costume change before running back out on stage to the applause of his adoring fans.
For those of you who are new to Patrick, he’s well known for combining electronic sampling with classical instruments, Wolf’s styles range from Romantic folk to techno-pop.
Is this the future of art installations? We certainly hope so!
If you’re in Amsterdam right now head over to Centraal Station to see this government approved 60 ft. wonder created by Shepard Fairey of Obey, for those of you not familiar with Mr Fairey and his work you should take a minute to go forth and observe it here.
Thanks to Nalden.net for the tip off.
Please stand and give a warm welcome to the latest member of the Dolly Rogers family, Mr. Garfunkel (aka. Simon).
Shipped over via ups from the United Kingdom, Garfunkel is one of the greatest minds ever to wear paisley. Excited by pens, steam punk and the occasional budgie, Mr Funk brings a wealth of knowledge from the UK design scene as well as a healthy dose of British sarcasm.
You can visit his piece of digital turf here.
