He has just completed a rapturously received, sold out UK tour, his new, breakthrough LP “Put Your Back N 2 It” is already being hailed as one of the albums of the year so far, and the acclaim has been pouring in (not least from one Michael Stipe). 2012 has undoubtedly been a good year for Perfume Genius.
Now, on the back of a run of UK/EU festival dates in the summer, Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas) is now getting ready to announce another string of UK shows, including a very special gig at the beautiful Union Chapel. For anyone who missed his intimate shows earlier this month, these will be absolutely unmissable.
