Fresh off their brand new and critically acclaimed fourth album, I Got Heaven, Philly’s Mannequin Pussy brought the buzz to Cleveland’s beloved Grog Shop on Friday night.
The sold-out crowd danced hard and belted lyrics harder. Mannequin Pussy—Marisa “Missy” Dabice, Kaleen Reading, Colins “Bear” Regisford, Maxine Steen, Carolyn Haynes—appear to be at the height of their powers, captivating both as songwriters and performers.
Also worthy of that praise? Openers (also Philly’s) Soul Glo—Pierce Jordan, GG Guerra, TJ Stevenson, Winston Hightower—proved even more captivating than their recent NPR Tiny Desk appearance where the audience was moved to mosh. To see both bands in such an intimate space was a treat.
