Artist description BIOGRAPHY Music fans in Los Angeles and around the Web are discovering the techno-poetry that flows from singer-songwriter McKenna Rowe. Rowe created "Psykick Girl" as a stage persona, an alter ego representing the furious creative energy within her. Her lyrics explore everything from ancient goddesses to modern technology, and Psykick Girl’s driving, richly textured music fuses influences from electronica to rock and back again. Rowe’s voice and music have drawn praise from critics, who describe her as "a modern day Annie Lennox" and "an inventive songwriter." Creative arrangements of breakbeats, strings, guitar and piano are bolstered by a unique voice of impressive range and authority. Psykick Girl's fresh sound exudes a frenetic yet intelligent energy, a momentum that makes you want to jump in your car and hit the open road, or get up and do a tribal dance. The beats are essential, but the melodies are just as thoughtfully crafted. Rowe's musical lines get stuck in your brain…and her voice is the shining beacon at the top of the lighthouse. Rowe invests long hours of creative development to make Psykick Girl performances transcendent experiences – shows that loyal fans and new converts are buzzing about. Rowe is joined onstage by a stellar rhythm section of bass and drums as well as a cavalcade of "guest performers" on saxophone, guitar and congas. The live show also features luminescent stage effects and synchronized video art. Psykick Girl debuted her multimedia show at the Summer X Games in San Francisco to an audience of over 2500 people, and has headlined at prominent LA venues, including The Roxy, Vinyl, and The Gig. Psykick Girl recently released a new full-length album, "THE NEEDLE HAS LANDED," with producer Jeff Moleski (Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Local H, Low Fidelity Allstars) at Hollywood's Moletrax Studios. She is currently promoting the album with live performances around Los Angeles. For more information, contact Psykick Girl Productions at 310.850.8169 or visit www.psykickgirl.com.

Press Reviews "From the moment Rowe sets foot onstage, her vocals are a surprise…she performs an animated blend of techno, tribal, and celestial music." -Music Connection Magazine "…a voice that brings to mind Annie Lennox and lyrics that reveal just enough to entice, like you're a spider on the wall of her bedroom…" -Illinois Entertainer "By skimming the surface of trip hop and borrowing beats that fall sleepily upon muffled surface and out-of-context sound samples, Psykick Girl's dance pop gets a boost that places it creatively beyond standard club-anthem fare. McKenna Rowe slips from throaty diva to Kate Bush's soprano queen from verse to verse." -Listen.com "Well produced, thoughtful, interesting…unique and cool sound!" -Y100, Philadelphia
