Rufus Wainwright @ Virgin Megastore, London

14th May 2007
Rufus Wainwright is in town to promote his new album, the Neil Tennant produced Release The Stars. His last stop before he leaves the town is Virgin Megastore on Oxford St for
a lunch time in-store appearence.

It is easy to notice Rufus has been working with a hectic schedule. He looks tired but still upbeat. His short, 5-song set includes the title track, Rules and Regulations, Sans Souci, Art Teacher from 2005's Want Two and the first single off Rlease The Stars - the anti American Going To A Town. What sounds not so impressive on the CD comes alive when performed live. In fact all the songs sound quite magnificient with a full band forcing you to give that second listen to the album which actually turns out to be quite good.

Release The Stars is out this week on Geffen Records.
