Faerie-Punk Cowgirl Clue Brings Hyperpop to Roxy

Rising electropop star Cowgirl Clue performs at the Roxy this week, so we chatted about that show, her fascinating name, and what the future holds…

COWGIRL CLUE: I began producing in the Summer of 2015. I didn’t really have a career oriented goal in mind per say or even know how to structure a song in the beginning. I mostly just knew I wanted to make electronic music that I could connect with for fun and learn as I go. After DJing most of my teenage years, it was a pretty natural progression to start creating dance music.

Sonically speaking, I’d say it’s a hybrid of a lot of musical styles falling under a neo-drum & bass-bubblegum-rave -hyperpop type category. Fashion-wise, my style is a mix of a faerie, punk and glam.

Yeah, when I started making music Wu-Wu was sort of an inside joke that didn’t translate so well to the rest of the world and didn’t have much longevity. When I changed it during the early stages of my project, having yet to release an album, I thought Clue would be a smooth transition for my audience, adding a little sparkle with “Cowgirl” and it just sort of came together for me. Although I am originally from Texas and I am not currently making country music, Cowgirl Clue was the most fitting alias I could possibly identify my personality with.

This will be my first headline in L.A. since I released my debut album, Icebreaker, in May and I’m really excited about it. It’s going to be a night full of really amazing, upcoming electronic artists (DJ Internet Girl, Lealani and Mood Killer). I would imagine there will be a healthy dose of hyper energy and special moments to cap off everyone’s year. Also, the show is apart of the Jingle Bell Roxy Benefit Residency, so I am encouraging everyone to bring something for the Union Rescue Mission to donate. Which you can find the list of items to bring here.

I have a lot of things planned for next year that I am pretty excited to announce soon. I just released a new music video for a song titled “Tainted” and toured/supported some really great artists last month (The Drums, Dorian Electra, Cherry Glazerr, and Kero Kero Bonito). I’ve been writing new material which I am hoping to have my next single out early next year. Most likely some touring to follow and maybe an EP late next year, but don’t hold me to it 😉
