Perfume Genius and his manager Bryan Ling discuss how they created a fully-produced, livestreamed concert in a pandemic, how it helps benefit venues across the country, and the future of livestreamed concerts.
here are things I really loved about that," he explains of his stripped-down home sets."When we first started touring, it was just me and Alan, so there was something really sweet about doing those isolation performances. But when we started rehearsing again with the band, and feeling that energy of actually singing and dancing and moving and having a shared experience with people again ... I just guess I didn't realize how vital that is to me.
But for Saturday's show, Hadreas is excited. In fact, he even adds that the possibilities for future shows like are endless, albeit different than what's he starting off with." While the Sept. 19 show at The Palace Theatre in Los Angeles is a one-off, Ling says the rehearsals with the band and preparation for this performance will pay off in the long run. As Hadreas continues to promote the album, he’ll have a well-oiled band to take to other venues, late night shows and various other appearances without having to do stripped-down, acoustic sets.
Ling adds: “My philosophy with this whole thing was, 'Let's build a coalition with the label, and let's tie in things to incentivize people. With the label, they're obviously incentivized to promote the album, so let's sell the album through this so that they're going to promote it even more and so on and so forth.”Set My Heart on Fire Immediately
