Machine Girl with special guests Portrayal of Guilt and yesterdayneverhappened at Vinyl Music Hall
Machine Girl have always operated as an inimitable, inventive, and individual sonic phenomenon. The newly trio’d—Matt Stephenson [vocals, producer], Sean Kelly [drums], and Lucy Caputi [guitar]—fortify a punk exoskeleton with electronic alchemy and cinematic ambition outfitted for an uncompromisingly heavy attack. Rave, metal, punk, pummeling electronic and organic drums collide and splinter like shrapnel into kaleidoscopic blasts of vibrant color and visceral sound.
Machine Girl carved out an incomparable lane upon arrival with Stephenson’s 2014 full-length debut LP, Wlfgrl, achieving bona fide cult status shocked to life by “Out by 16, Dead on the Scene,” “Ghost,” and “Mg1,” which has reeled in north of 43 million Spotify streams and counting. Their sound proceeded to completely reinvent itself across each LP that followed. 2024’s MG Ultra incited the most enthusiastic critical applause of the band’s career so far. Pitchfork professed, “Their music together plays like the soundtrack to the final boss level of some finger-blistering bullet hell,” and Dazed mused, “it’s hard to imagine a better soundtrack for the revolution than Machine Girl.”
The latter LP also set the stage for 2025’s PsychoWarrior: MG Ultra, functioning as a prelude. “Come On Baby, Scrape My Data” is a multi-generational warcry against AI and big tech - Wanna know me? Wanna own me? Wanna clone me? F**k you, you can blow me. Their cathartic live shows have captivated hundreds of thousands of fans, having traversed five continents and thirty-four countries post-covid already.
