Patty PerShayla is already a rarity as a combination singer and bassist, but has established herself as a stand-out performer by meanwhile perching on one leg or strutting the stage in platform heels. She is heard before she is seen, boasting a big voice for a relatively small vessel, and certainly has a lot to say—challenging gender norms, confronting imposter syndrome, processing trauma—and don’t even think about getting on her bad side.
Patty’s first full-length solo record, SAD GIRL APOCALYPSE: bummer songs and ukulele adventures, is a short detour from the more adventurous, socially charged, electrifying rock she’s known for. SAD GIRL leans more introspective and many of the songs are a periscopic view from her basement bunker (a bedroom which was legally a closet) during the world’s most recent apocalyptic events. In under 30 minutes, listeners may empathetically experience the effects of confusion, betrayal, existential crises, grief, anxiety, substance abuse, childhood trauma, and an unshakeable sense of dread—but there is still space to dance through the tears. SAD GIRL is an experimental record, co-recorded and co-produced by PerShayla and frequent collaborator, Lucas Powell, in their home studio, featuring Patty’s multi-instrumentalism, incredibly versatile voice, devastatingly clever lyrics, and even cover art illustration. The SAD GIRL APOCALYPSE tour features only four intimate concerts in PerShayla’s home state of Michigan, where she will be joined by guitarist Lucas Powell, drummer Dave Hempstead, and newest member, multi-instrumentalist Camryn Proctor (Emily the Band, The Blank Stairs). Patty promises to hang up her acoustic guitar and return to heavy songs and punk anthems in 2025 when her tears have dried.
