Machine Girl is a duo consisting of vocalist and producer Matt Stephenson and drummer Sean Kelly. Since a chance encounter in New York back in 2015, they have spearheaded a unique DIY music movement in North America, residing at the cutting edge of punk, noise, techno, and rap. Their name alludes to the film ‘The Machine Girl’. Through their music, the duo explores themes of surrealism, fear, and chaos, but always with a flashlight pointing towards ultimate catharsis—”a reset button for the current state of reality”. Mosh pits and gabber raves collide in a harmonious frenzy.
