Perfect Pussy at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris
Punk of the kind they don’t make any more! Perfect Pussy concerts are superfast and super-energetic! Songs lasting 2 minutes apiece, strung together without a break, like a stream of uppercuts dealt by Meredith Graves, who leaps, rants, lashes out and leaves everyone stunned and blown away!
