Machine Girl – announce headline show at Button Factory, Dublin

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, and pummeling electronic (and real) drums collide and splinter like shrapnel into kaleidoscopic blasts of vibrant color and visceral sound. 

After amassing millions of fans, hundreds of millions of streams, inciting critical acclaim, and captivating at cap crowds in nineteen (19) countries YTD in 2025 so far, the band continue to elevate on their seventh full-length LP, Psycho Warrior. 

“I’d been reading analytical psychology and the writings of Joseph Campbell and Jung,” recalls Matt. “There’s a concept of the collective unconscious and these archetypes that we innately have. We adopt different personae in order to get through the day. In essence, you complete yourself by facing your shadow self. To do so, you must accept the less savory aspects of who you are. There’s a lot of validity to these theories. Right now, we’re a very psychologically damaged culture and society. We’re being pushed over the edge with social media and technology. Any chance of resistance against these systems starts in the mind, so this was the genesis of Psycho Warrior.”
