Mannequin Pussy
After Philadelphia’s hardcore punks Soul Glo set the tone for the night, administering their high energy from the stage into the audience, not a single soul could wait for Mannequin Pussy’s headlining performance. Their show in Toronto at The Concert Hall was highly anticipated, as the venue – even after upgrading – was entirely sold out… and Toronto was only one of many sold out dates on their I Got Heaven tour. Mannequin Pussy’s show was unbelievably majestic and ethereal; between the hazy lights and vocalist Missy’s enchanting performance, the scene felt straight out of a dream. As the night continued, the band crescendoed from their softer music into their more punk-influenced songs, amping the energy through the roof. Missy’s vocal duality, going from siren-like singing to harsh, punk screaming was utterly captivating to witness, and the crowd’s ever-growing moshpit ran rampant all the way to the very last song, Romantic. As the band’s North American tour comes to a close, it is imminent that their stardom has only just begun. Be sure to catch them at their upcoming shows as soon as possible… I promise you, the experience will simply be heavenly!
