Perfect Pussy

After the breakup of Syracuse, New York noise punk band Shoppers, some of its members came together in an unusual fashion to form the ecstatic punk explosion that would come to be known as Perfect P***y. Singer Meredith Graves was approached by the director of a big-budget movie called Adult World, who asked her to be in the movie playing the part of a local punk band. Graves assembled what she referred to in interviews as a "fake band," writing one "fake song" for the movie with other ex-members of Shoppers. After the film was done, the fake band slowly morphed into a real band. After signing with Captured Tracks, Perfect P***y issued their official debut album, Say Yes to Love, in March 2014. ~ Fred Thomas
