Patrick Wolf is headed to Australia for the Meredith Music Festival, but also performs in Perth for the first time, at Capitol on Saturday 12 December 2009.

Visceral, Impulsive, Antagonistic and Unique; the list of superlatives and adjectives for this young man and his music go on ad infinitum. Never one to conform to artistic nor industry status quo, young Master Wolf could rightly claim pole position at the vanguard of avant-garde pop. His wonderfully willful compositions and forays into the glamorous aesthetic of leather, chains, glitter and feathers only exalt the kind of compelling self- awareness we find so irresistible.

Static X return to Perth and perform at Capitol on Sunday 15 November 2009.

Get set to descend into aural oblivion, and get ready to join the cult as STATIC-X make a welcome return to Australia this November!
Calling their latest album Cult of Static says it all. “Our fans are so loyal. I’m jokingly calling it a cult, but our fans have that kind of loyalty. We’ve been putting out records and touring for ten years now, and I think we can get away with this title. We have this massive group of diehard followers. We’re one of the biggest underground bands ever.” However, on Cult of Static, the band resonates far past the underground.
