Perfect Pussy, out of Syracuse, are heading out on tour. The punk rockers are touring, hitting some festivals after garnering praise from all the various places you can actually still get praise for punk rock.

Their debut EP, I have lost all desire for feeling, was released on cassette only last year. They are now signed to Captured Tracks. Their debut LP will be released, on 8-track only in the spring. JUST Kidding. It won't be on 8-Track...it will be on 1/4 inch reel to reel (for some reason I feel I have to add that this, too, is kidding).

Since I went to college in Gainesville I wish them luck in their career. I will give one piece of advice though; don't wear cargo shorts in your promo photo. Although in Gainesville I suppose we can just feel lucky he isn't wearing tight jorts.
