Less than two months have passed since Patrick Wolf last played in New York and this time he brought a whole tour with him. Headlining the Nylon Summer Music Tour, Patrick played alongside the discordant Jaguar Love, the fierce, French, all-female Plasticines, and the bland Living Things. Occasionally angered into withering curse-outs (very surreal) by ungracious audience members or incompetent sound techs, Patrick was mostly all smiles and his usual charming self.

Last Friday, I got to cover the last of the Summerwood 2009 shows featuring Miss Derringer and Girl in a Coma for Popnography. Fun was had and I was home at a reasonable hour (always a plus!). The venue was only half full, but the show was energetic and the lights, fantastic.

Sunday night, I got to finally experience my first good arena shoot. Nine Inch Nails, the reunited Jane’s Addiction and Street Sweeper Social Club (featuring Boots Riley and Tom Morello)put on a great and lively show.

Thursday I saw IAMX play with Cruel Black Dove and Hypernova at Bowery Ballroom. Before doors, the line to get in was down the block, a rare occurrence for the small venue. I never pegged IAMX as that popular, but shows what I know. The crowd was very enthusiastic and Chris Corner was obviously happy to be there.
To bad the lights were terrible and Chris does not like photo ops…

The first time I saw White Rabbits was when they opened for The Cribs in August of 2007 (a very long time ago in music terms; photo set from the show located here). Usually opening bands aren’t too impressive, but I was wowed that time and they still got it.
The crowd was very courteous and the band on form as they played tracks from their first album (like “The Plot”) and many of the cuts from their latest, It’s Frightening, including the popular single “Percussion Gun.”
