Zowie Announces LA Show @ Check Yo Ponytail!
Codebase Remix of ‘Bite Back’
A whip-smart 22 year old karate-proficient Antipodean with a penchant for percussion, a hyperglycemic imagination and a dizzying creative ferocity, Zowie made quite the splash at October’s CMJ festival in New York City. In the short span of the festival she captured the attention landed on the cover of the Sunday New York Times' Style section.
After joining Mark Ronson on his Australian tour, Zowie is headed back to the states next month for a series of showcases at SXSW, Zowie has just announced she will be making a stop on the West Coast for a special performance at LA’s famed Check Yo Ponytail party on March 15th, 2011. This semi-weekly party remains the epi-center of the LA music scene, always booking new and eccentric acts that will inspire audiences to dance, drink, and rage. Zowie will be joining the line-up to share her distilled a bubbling mix of vintage synth-pop, shimmering electro, playground chants and rock n roll swagger.
Recently signed to Sony Music, Zowie has released her debut single “Broken Machine” in Australia and New Zealand, where it debuted top 5 on the singles charts. Her debut album is expected to hit the states this summer. Yesterday Hard Candy Music debuted the Codebase remix of her latest track to hit the interweb, “Bite Back” HERE. This current Australian smash hit single is a call to strut your stuff, a highly infectious tune set to an explosive beat. Check out the gothic and runway worthy video for “Bite Back” HERE.

Early praise For Zowie:
“… songs are riled-up dance music, often starting with a perky synthetic beat that shortly gets slammed against the dance floor by distorted rhythm guitar. Zowie tops the groove with a voice that has the quavers of Siouxie Sioux….singing (and sometimes rapping) pronouncements like ‘You treat me like I am someone else’ and, even better, ‘I want to destroy you with sound’ - Jon Pareles, NY Times
“With beats reminiscent of The Knife on a not-so-dark day, and a hint of 80’s synths, it’s a right catchy tune.” – Filter Magazine
“Zowie’s stature doesn’t reflect her rambunctious vocals. The Auckland, New Zealand native has glitter and spark in each track” – New York Press
