Patrick Wolf descended upon New York this weekend for his first U.S. shows in support of The Magic Position, Wolf's third LP and a recent Pitchfork Best New Music selection (out May 1 Stateside via Low Altitude/Universal). According to Pitchfork photographer Kathryn Yu, the kids at Studio B "went crazy" for Magic's title track and delighted at Wolf tossing quotes from "SexyBack" into "Bluebells". Dude also covered Kelly Marie's disco hit "Feels Like I'm in Love" while awash in strobe lights. Nice.

Apparently things didn't go quite so well at the following night's gig at Don Hill's, however. According to a reader, Wolf's drummer more or less passed out during a performance of Lycanthropy's "Bloodbeat", prompting the vocalist/multi-instrumentalist to toss a cymbal stand at the guy, slap him around a bit, and fire his ass before returning front and center to continue the show.

Best stay awake if you plan on catching Wolf's upcoming gigs in Europe!
