NICKY CLICK, PETUNIA PIE, PENELOPE PARANOID, PLUM PRECIOUS AND YOU!
Influences
i love all the artists on my label, crunks not dead, and anyone who is not afraid to put themselves out there and share their story in whatever means they have possible. I admire women and queers who have paved the road for me to be out there sharing my story.
Sounds Like
Nicky click sounds like yer in a club and suddenly yer dancing and everything feels good cos she is wearing a red lyrca bodysuit and rolling on the ground and the music is electro-hop-pop-hip-hop-who-can-decide and it is sexy and it is complex and it makes you move and think and yer eyes always blink cos the live show will knock yer socks off!
IT SOUNDS LIKE YER SITTING IN YOUR BEDROOM ALONE AT NITE HAPPY TO BE THERE, BUT VERY AWARE THAT EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE IS MONUMENTAL AND MAGICAL! SOUNDS LIKE WALLS BEING BROKEN DOWN AND SILENCE INTERRUPTED. FEELS LIKE YOU ARE WHOLE, COMFORTABLE IN YOUR BODY AND MIND, DANCING SOLO, JUMPING ON YOUR BED, SINGING IN THE MIRROR. YOU ARE YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN! SOUNDS LIKE NEEDLES SEWING YOUR HEART BACK TOGETHER. SOUNDS LIKE I LOVE YOU YER GREAT, AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, IT IS TRUE.
Nicky Click is part of the wave of girls making music alone in their bedrooms without shame of it being "lo-fi" or not super professional sounding but doing it cos it is so empowering to conquer computer programs and write songs from yer inner feelings. When Nicky Click was in school only the boys did music and she never thought she could cos she was never offered resources or empowered. Nicky Click has had many mentors and help (including two years as protege to the scream club) and hopes to continue to share and learn with other ladies making music in their bedrooms. please check out nicky click side projects homo time and dearest diary.
the nickyclick was born five years ago in petunia pies bedroom.
together they have written two full length albums and are working on a third
they have traveled, toured, and performed internationally
she is a producer, video artist, song writer, diva, and oddball.
she helps run crunks not dead records
is she joking or serious?
is she a fat feminist lezzie?
does she live in reality?
are her songs real?
could there possibly be a hidden "metaphorical meaning"?
is she just a sexy airhead ipod band?
Could she also perhaps be performing and deconstructing
every internalized concept we have of women and gender by throwing it in "their" face?
Nicky click and petunia pie share true life experiences of oppression as dirty queer dolls, trying to make sense of the boxes in this world. They are for some reason compelled to share that feeling and struggle with you through their art.
so, perhaps there is much, much more going on in that little head than air.
The Nicky Click says she is queer-femme-parody-artist-comic-funny-feminist -over the top-kitsch-persona.
She reverses the male gaze and commands your attention. She provokes brain movement through costumes, faces, personas, dancing, body language, sexuality, and so on.
Nicky click has been called "incomparable," odd, yet interesting, and a bitch. nickyclick surely isn't for everyone, but.......she makes you take a second look..............
This is my video that just premiered on logo. directed by the fab-u ali astro. please go here

Nicky Click described as "A one woman feminist electro band"-SF Weekly
"Nicky Click is my new favorite discovery! I will never forget the image of her in her stripey unitard, bouncing around on stage singing and reciting her feel-good, feminist retro-80s new wave pop. "I Wanna Excercise" is my new favorite song!!" - Curve Magazine
"Nicky Click is an Olympia, Wash.-based electronic artist who spent the winter opening for U.K. grime sensation Lady Sovereign. With Sov's name on the lips of music bloggers everywhere, Click's success can't be far behind." -The Portland Tribune

"Much like Le Tigre or Gravy Train, Nicky melds her politics with energetic electronic dance music. She is also an aspiring hip-hop diva in the Peaches mold." -Church Of Girl Radio
"A young, energetic Olympian, Nicky Click runs in the same tight, electro circle as those crazy kids in Scream Club. And she wears a leotard during her performances. Translation: fun and ballsy." -MARK BAUMGARTEN Willamette Weekly
"Click does not rap so much as her words pause and slither to land on beat, her voice is breathy and coquettish. She owes more to Berliner bad girls like Peaches and Kevin Blechdom, with her self-conscious, self-empowered, self-help jargon-laced feminist tropes, earnest via ironic, minimal electro" -Portland Mercury

"Nicky Click Makes me want to pull up my knee socks, grab some friends, and dance the night away in my bedroom." -Plazm Magazine

Combining video work reminiscent of Sadie Benning and the character performances of Miranda July, Click offers up a tight set of engaging music that entertains and invokes conversation and thought." -Lisa Ganser, The Flaming Film Festival
"I instantly loved Nicky Click! This kind of hip hop coming out on Crunks Not Dead Records is crazy stuff. Who new that dance music and hip hop would blend so easily. It's Electro-pop, hip hop with a slice of punk-defied pie.I couldn't stop moving my head to the music. -Disheveled Magazine
