PUNK | PERFECT PUSSY
Upstate New York and Syracuse natives Perfect Pussy burst onto the scene earlier this year, bringing with it a bold, disruptive sound that shocks as much as it astonishes. The band is fronted by lyricist/singer Meredith Graves, a youthful looking rebel with an intense, edgy voice, both lyrically and musically. With each song that the band presents, Graves’ voice is accompanied by a ring of pure noise, matching her intensity and adding to the exultant atmosphere of her lyrics. The band has recently garnered an impressive amount of positive attention, making it onto Best of 2013 lists from noteworthy publications such as Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, and will be releasing a full length album in the near future. Perfect Pussy will perform with Potty Mouth, Ovlov, Green Dreams, and Cottage Jefferson Friday, January 3, 9 p.m., at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave., $6-$10, bugjar.com. — BY LEAH CREARY Tiki Thursdays: Shotgun Music DJ.
