NICKY CLICK

NickyClick is a producer, beat maker, video artist, songwriter and performance artist. Her sophomore album, I'm On My Cell Phone, out November 13 on Olympia, WA's Crunks Not Dead Records, is filled with original, catchy electro-pop songs that have all the memorable hooks to keep 'em in your head for days, while also telling the story of this unique artist’s life and experience as a queer femme and feminist.

The characters represented by NickyClick are reflective of the many sides and parts of the gal herself; the ones she wants to hide, the ones she is ashamed of; the sexy side, the smart side. In presenting these faces to audiences and listeners (through song and performance), NickyClick hopes that viewers will feel an opportunity to "let go" and break down walls of limitation. The intention is to create a space and dialogue where people (especially women and queers) can release societal standards, and create their own.

NickyClick draws comparisons to Peaches, Miranda July, Le Tigre and Sadie Benning, and has shared stages with Lady Sovereign, Scream Club, ESG, Tender Forever, Yo Majesty, Deadlee, Team Dresch, Michelle Tea, The Blow, The Gossip, Anna Oxygen and many more. She was named 2006 Emerging Artist of the Year for her films and music by the Flaming Film Festival. She helps run the collective independent label Crunks Not Dead. She has played prestigious festivals such as Homo A Go Go, Estrojam, Mondo Homo, Peace Out East, as well as Ladyfests and pride festivals nationwide. Her videos have played in theatres and festivals such as the Berlin Queer Festival, Mania TV and the GLBT Milan Film Festival.

From the Portland Press-Herald, December 2007:

You're a fun one, Nicky Click,
You really are a hoot.
You've got crazy, catchy lyrics,
And your music makes me grin
Nicky Click ....
You entertain me, Nicky Click.
"I'm on My Cellphone's" great.
You're a silly, wacky singer
With electro-pop to spare.
Nicky Click ...
The three words that best describe your style are as follows and I quote: "Smart, hot, funk."
