Be There: Patrick Wolf at Paradise

Patrick%20Wolf.jpgWe're going to admit that we'd be inclined to give Patrick Wolf a cheer even we'd never heard of his material. Why? The guy called 2007 pop darling (and Perez Hilton poster child) Mika a twat back in July - and it was about time somebody spoke for those sick of having "Grace Kelly" shoved down their throats.

Sure, it was a move awfully Lily Allen-esque - he sent out a myspace bulletin blasting Mika shortly after opening for him in London - but Wolf backed up his complaints about music he described as "over-marketed, expensive, heartless, tacky rubbish" (we fixed the grammar). "The Magic Position," one of our favorite songs of the year (off the album of the same name), is as infectious as Mika, but more mature, with a lusher voice and instrumentation that pounds out a crescendo over and over again without ever getting obnoxious.

Wolf, 24, will bring his Ziggy Stardust-reminiscent style to Paradise on Thursday night for a show supporting "The Magic Position," and we anticipate eye and ear candy galore for the Boston crowd.

Patrick Wolf, with Bishi, tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets are $18 for the 18+ show and are available here. Photo from Patrick Wolf's myspace.

It sounds as if somebody is envious of Mika.
