PERFUME GENIUS IN CONCERT:

Chamber pop virtuoso Perfume Genius continues to push the envelope with his vulnerable yet powerful vocals, outré personal style, and intimate live performances. Whether he's accompanied by a backing band or going it solo with his keyboard, he always delivers a cathartic, unguarded live show that highlights the gravitas of his subject matter yet remains cautiously hopeful in its melodic flourishes. Fans love Perfume Genius for his grit and emotion, and they'll get plenty of both as he performs poignant renditions of favorites like "Dark Parts" and "Floating Sit" on tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Seattle-based Perfume Genius, a.k.a. Mike Hadreas, began composing music in 2008 after relocating from New York to the Pacific Northwest. The demos he posted to MySpace attracted the attention of revered indie imprint Matador Records, and in 2010 the label released his debut album Learning. The release was a hit with critics, while its sober subject matter and uncluttered arrangements andhad an even bigger emotional resonance with fans. He followed up in 2012 with Put Your Back N 2 It, an ambitious effort that continued in the same vein. Critics took note -- the album was awarded Best New Music by Pitchfork, and it appeared on numerous year-end lists. With his highly anticipated third album Too Bright hitting shelves in 2014, Perfume Genius has fans eagerly awaiting his upcoming tour dates.

    Great Artist, Terrible Venue

    by Anonymous on 3/23/15Stage 48 - New York

    Perfume Genius put on an amazing show as usual. The set list was fantastic and he brought full energy to the set. The sound system, however sounded muddy, echoey and terrible all-around. This might be a good venue to dance, etc, but for vocal-powered music, things sound awful.

    Perfume Genius is a remarkable star

    I had no idea what to anticipate and Perfume Genius surpassed all expectations. What a unique, chilling, haunting, powerfully vulnerable talent. He pulls you in and shares with you his heart. Amazing.

    Power in fragility

    by Anonymous on 10/10/14Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    So much emotion behind Perfume Genius' fragile yet powerful performance, Mike Hadreas is able to capture you with a whisper as much as a scream... but he ain't afraid to scream.
