With The Magic Position parading into UK record shoppes today via Loog, flamboyant Patrick Wolf continues his overseas tour in support of the release, his third full-length proper, and perhaps his finest yet.

Theatrical Patrick apparently had the kids crying "Wolf!" during last night's gig at Sheffield's Leadmill, donning a school boy's uniform and other loud attire, mustering chutzpah by the pound, and showcasing his talents on violin, keyboard, and even Theremin. He'll need all the chutzpah he can get-- as previously reported, Wolf opens a string of UK dates for Arcade Fire next month.

Import-averse U.S. audiences can look forward to The Magic Position's May 1 release via Low Altitude/Universal. Dates and more photos-- all courtesy of Lauren Solarski and Carl Blackmun-- after the jump.
