Preview: Our in-depth interview with Perfume Genius
“It’s frustrating to me because a bunch of straight men can write really emotional music and nobody accuses them of being dramatic.”
–Mike Hadreas (Perfume Genius), in an excerpt from our exclusive interview with the musician ahead of his appearance at the Black Cat later this month.
For the full interview, in which talks about how a stint in rehab helped him find his musical voice, how he was bullied in high school, and how he feels his music is a way to transform his femininity into a “badass” persona, pick up an issue of Metro Weekly, or check out the link below.
Meanwhile, enjoy Perfume Genius’s latest single off his new album, Too Bright, “Queen.”
