Steve Madden and Giant Step present an intimate acoustic performance by Capitol Recording artist Katy Perry plus DJ Moni. This is the first in a series of events to be held at Steven by Steve Madden. Click here to RSVP. RSVP limited to one person per email. http://www.giantstep.net/downloads/RSVP/SteveMadden1/ Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing fans and critics alike with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs like "Ur So Gay," the title track of her 2007 EP. Comparisons to Lucille Ball only tell half the story. Now if Lucille Ball had a secret love child with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, it would look, sound, and behave like Katy Perry. The Los Angeles based pop-rock dynamo's debut album One of the Boys, featuring the titillating single "I Kissed A Girl," arrives June 17th. "The next big thing!" — Blender Magazine "It was impossible to deny the charisma and chops of L.A.-based Katy Perry on Thursday night at a very packed Viper Room. A musical diarist in the vein of January's diva-of-the-month, Kate Nash, Perry infuses her boyfriend-bending pop with plenty of bite and, for her age (22), a healthy dose of self-awareness.” – LATimes.com this calendar is brought to you by BrooklynVegan
