Oxegen 2007
Rufus Wainwright

Describe In Three Words: The indie Liberace.

Remarkable Moment: He's wearing a western-style tuxedo, while the band are sassy in candystripe. He's alternating from piano to guitar and he carries more authority and individual cool every time we see him. The spike of 'Going To a Town' is impressive during a weekend when political thinking is rare. Elsewhere, he just mopes, delightfully, before signing off with the old John McCormack show-stopper, 'Machuschla' and a bold 'Gay Messiah'.

Crowd Reaction: They think Rufus is ravaging.
