PICTURE THIS: Perfume Genius + serpentwithfeet @ The Independent, SF 7/19/17
Mike Hadreas, AKA Perfume Genius, brought all of the love to the Independent in SF on 7/19. Fresh from wreaking havoc on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he drew heavily on his latest Matador release, No Shape, and finished his two night stand in style at the venue on Divisadero. Translating everyday pain into joyous release is his forte, and his faithful were sated. I believe ‘icon’ is the word you’re looking for…
Support for the evening came courtesy of Serpentwithfeet, With a stunning EP, Blisters, under his belt, the mutant Gospel project of Josiah Wise raised the bar, and while he might not currently be in the church, he is most assuredly of the church, and he made the emotional connection which turns an audience into a congregation.
