RUFUS WAINWRIGHT in Brussels in November
« on: July 04, 2007, 07:16:53 am »
Hi,

Wanting to let you know -


Rufus Wainwright - Vendredi 16 novembre 2007 - 20h00 - Cirque Royal, Bruxelles

Rufus Wainwright le 16 novembre au Cirque Royal! Né en 1973 à New-York, Rufus Wainwright a passé toute sa jeunesse au Canada. Elevé dans une famille de musiciens (Loudon Wainwright III et Kate McGarrigle), Il a très vite développé des aptitudes musicales impressionnantes. D’abord au piano à l’âge de 6 ans, puis sur les tournées de ses parents dès 13 ans. Auteur, compositeur et interprète de talent, Rufus fait ses débuts sur la scène rock en 1998 avec un premier album éponyme. Il est immédiatement salué par le public, tout comme par la critique qui le considère alors comme la révélation de l’année. Trois ans plus tard, il enregistre un second album « Poses », dont il signe les textes et la musique et sur lequel on retrouve de grands noms tels que Melissa Auf Der Maur ex-bassiste de Hole et des Smashing Pumpkins, ou encore Alex Gifford, moitié du duo anglais The Propellerheads. En 2003, Rufus sort le splendide « Want One » qui lui confère une notoriété internationale. Après de très belles collaborations avec entre autre Anthony et The Johnsons, il revient dans les bacs en 2005 avec « Want Two ». Mai 2007 a vu la sortie de son 5ième opus en dix ans. « Release The Stars » est le premier album qu’il produit lui-même. Il y met l’accent sur un mouvement orchestral de grande ampleur pour accompagner des paroles sincères, franches et touchantes à l’image du premier single qui en est extrait : « Going To A Town». Il y a également inclus un ensemble de quatorze cordes et d’instruments à vent, et a notamment reçu l’aide de sa sœur Martha de Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) et de Smokey Hormel (collaborateur de Beck).

Thanks Jude, you going?  I didn't know that about growing up in Canada.  Maybe we can add him to "O Canada" week here at BetterMost.  :)

I'd love to go! I will very probably go! It's a long time from now, so I hope that nothing will come in the way of the concert.

Being of Canadian decent gives him an extra edge! In a good way of course!  ;D

Hi Kelda!

I still have computer problems at home, so sorry for not replying earlier.

Well, I got my tickets for November last week! It will only be my second time that I'll see him. But I can't wait!!  :-*

The concert was last Friday and it was fantabulous! Rufus really is a showman! He doesn't shy away from 'showing off' his nice legs (on heels) and his sexy sexy voice!

I have pictures and will try to post them, when I can.

Kitties are fine! Thank you Kelda. But yesterday one of my mom's cats was put asleep. I didn't even know, the cat had been ill for a day already and found out about it only when it had already been put asleep. I'm really sad and angry with my mother! The cat was part of my life for 12 years (on and off) and now suddenly it's gone.. I can't believe it yet.. .....  :-X

Glad you had a good time but sad to hear about your kitty..

I'm doing some volunteer work for the local cat protection team so every Wednesday I go for about an hour and clean out some pens and play with the cats - its quite fun!

Ah, Jude, sorry to hear about your family cat.  You've had a tough year or so that way.  On the other hand, how are "our" beautiful kitties?  I'd love to see some photos.

I've been meaning to tell you all, and I guess I'll do it in this thread -

I went to see The Roches the other night here in Seattle, three sisters from NY whose music I have loved for many years.  The opening act was Lucy Wainwright Roche, the daughter of one of the three sisters, Suzzy Roche, and Loudon Wainwright 3rd.  So, Rufus's half-sister.  She was sweet.

Thank you Kelda. That's tremendously brave of you to work in the cat protection team! I think I could never do that, because it would haunt me seeing all these abandoned cats waiting to be adopted. Its so sad. But it sounds like you are enjoying it! Good job!

I will post pictures of Rufus in my next post and try to upload one short video I took on YouTube.
