Patrick Wolf @ Botanique, Brussels

saturday night was a perfect end to my one week long visit in bxl. mainly thanks to my friends and mr wolf. i had a feeling as if it was my birthday and even after some days the feeling remains..
the concert at botanique orangerie was opened by a surpisingly great the deer tracks - an amazing trio from sweden, whose debut album aurora will definitely be on top of my music playlist for upcoming weeks. their beautiful voices and charming blends of sounds could as well be the main act of the night and hopefully i will see them live again some day.
then a little too much of waiting and finally patrick and his 4 piece band came on stage. no one was sure about the message of his outfit and looks ( some associations of flora&fauna mix) as well as his poses and not really being himself during the first two songs. but very soon he became patrick as i remember him two years ago in pukkelpop festival as well how he is on interviews. songs followed from his latest album the bachelor with older ones, as highlights i could name tristan, battle and hard times plus the lovely chat about his last visit to bxl, lady gaga and aunt patricia's death.

patrick was great I enjoyed the concert a lot and was happy that my friends did as well. the night didn't end with that ( in fact it did not end at all since i had my flight early in the morning..) but that is another story...
