Syracuse lo-fi punk band Perfect Pussy played an energetic set Thursday night for a packed crowd at the First Unitarian Church. Frontwoman Meredith Graves gave the performance her all and pumped up the crowd to its highest intensity. She was recently interviewed for The What’s Underneath Project which promotes beauty not in style, but by the way you carry yourself. Between hearing the interview and seeing her perform, Graves is an inspirational frontwoman who refuses to be the “skinny, pretty lead singer.”

Speaking of powerful women, Joanna Gruesome is known for their firm feminist and anti-homophobic views. Alanna Gruesome was an impeccable front to Joanna Gruesome. This UK punk band is also well-known for high energy sets, and they definitely delivered.

Perfect Pussy and Joanna Gruesome are to release a split this fall, so keep your eyes pealed for that!

Openers Love of Everything and Potty Mouth really set the stage for this noise-filled night. Check out photos from the show in the gallery below.
