Astral People & Handsome Tours presents
MACHINE GIRL
(USA)
Guests: Lucas Abela
Some music moves you. Some music rearranges your DNA. Machine Girl does the latter — a full-throttle sensory overload channelled through breakneck BPMs, live drums, digital distortion, and raw, unfiltered emotion. Equal parts rave weapon and noise ritual, the project has become a lifeline for freaks of every breed — ravers, metalheads, gamers, goths, industrialists. It doesn’t fit into genre. It tears genre apart and feeds it back to you, pixelated and burning.
With percussionist Sean Kelly adding live drums and newest member, Lucy Caputi adding guitar, to Matt Stephenson’s unrelenting digital barrage, Machine Girl’s live sets are notorious — sweat-soaked, feral, and wildly unpredictable. That chaos will touch down at Dark Mofo, the perfect playground for their dystopian rituals, before detonating across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland.
Now signed to Australia’s own Future Classic, Machine Girl returns to the Southern Hemisphere after their newly released album, MG Ultra — Machine Girl’s most mind-bending chapter yet.
Equal parts anime nightmare, B-horror hallucination, and dystopian social commentary, the record dives deep into themes of alienation, dysmorphia, and the commodification of thought. The title is no coincidence — a nod to the MK Ultra CIA experiments and the fractures they left behind.
Music designed to move something buried deep inside of you. Catch Machine Girl this June before we all burn.
