NEW YORK (Audio
Crash PR) - Perfuma will showcase songs off their new album, 'The
Black Lung Sessions,' at
Crash Mansion in New York City on April 25. While only two songs from the 'Sessions' were released online in March, they've caused many industry ears to perk up.
'The
Black Lung Sessions' was produced by
Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Hot Rod Circuit) and features guest appearances by Rye Coalition drummer Dave Leto, as well as Armor For Sleep vocalist, Ben Jorgansen.
Perfuma's debut CD, 'Humans Are Dangerous,' was released in December '04. The Internet pre-sale of 'Humans' saw it in the top 50 on Smartpunk.com. The CD continues to move over 100 copies a month at live shows. The first pressing sold out 50 shows after its release. In January '06, Hot Topic began distributing 'Humans' in its New Jersey and New York stores. Copies sold out within the first week.
Tour highlights for 'Humans' included Perfuma building an extensive fan base by performing alongside national acts like Hidden In Plainview and Armor For Sleep, being one of the select unsigned bands to play The Great Bamboozle Festival 2005 in Asbury Park, along with Further Seems Forever and Fallout Boy, and playing on the AbsolutePunk.net sponsored "Keep Your Composure Tour' during the summer of 2005.
