Perfect Pussy is an American rock band, formed in 2012 in Syracuse, New York. The band consists of vocalist Meredith Graves, guitarist Ray McAndrew, drummer Garrett Koloski, bass guitarist Ali Donohue and keyboardist Shaun Sutkus. The band is known for its "frenetic brand of punk and raucous live shows" and has been described as "the most important punk band to come out of Syracuse since Earth Crisis."
Prior to the formation of the band, the lead singer Meredith Graves performed folk music under the name Mouse and the Love & Light Orkestra, then subsequently was a member of the Syracuse-based noise rock trio Shoppers.
After Shoppers broke up, film director Scott Coffey approached Graves, asking her to perform with a band for his 2012 movie, Adult World. She assembled a "fake band," consisting of her, drummer Garrett Koloski of the rock band Sswampzz and bass guitarist Greg Ambler of SoreXcuse, and wrote the song for the film. In the aftermath of the filming, they kept performing together and were joined by Sswampzz guitarist Ray McAndrew and keyboardist Shaun Sutkus.
The band gained attention with its debut demo, a 13-minute EP called I Have Lost All Desire for Feeling, which was released independently in 2013. Reviewing the EP for Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan said "Punk-rock revelations like Perfect Pussy don't come along nearly often enough," and described their work as "the uncut truth of music that won't hold anything back."Pitchfork named I Have Lost All Desire for Feeling as an honorable mention on its list of the best albums of 2013, with critic Lindsay Zoladz saying "EP feels like the sustained climax of a horror movie, the aural equivalent of that moment when the heroine—tattered, bleeding, and suddenly superhumanly defiant—drives the devil out and is engulfed in a radioactive glow."
Perfect Pussy performed in CMJ music festival in 2013 and in SXSW in 2014, after signing to the Brooklyn-based Captured Tracks record label.
