"A fascinating, complicated rhyme maven: anxious yet strong willed, simultaneously listless and driven, brilliantly literate but not too highfalutin to salute her favorite TV shows." - Dazed & Confused

"So onstage, she brings her lab with her, constructing beats live with some bone-shaking backing from her powerhouse drummer. Her new EP showcases her skill for deceptively simple production along with her incredibly quick tongue." - SPIN.com

"She's become one of hip-hop's most intriguing new talents" - LA Weekly

"A Bay Area indie-rap heat seeker with an irresistible online presence - check out her Book Reports, where she dishes unpretentiously on recent highbrow reads - brings her spunky, self-deprecating rhymes chez Andrew W.K." - Time Out New York


Genre-defying rapper/singer/songwriter K.Flay has a full Spring season ahead of her with performances at SXSW, Bonnaroo, NYC's Governors Ball and a headlining tour through March and April.  She is touring in support of her brand new EP, Eyes Shut, which premiered<http://www.spin.com/articles/first-spin-download-k-flays-eyes-shut-ep-watch-her-tangle-puppets> at SPIN.com and is available for free download via www.KFlay.com<http://www.KFlay.com>. At SXSW you can catch K.Flay at Antone's on March 14 (8:00 PM) for the Pandora Party alongside Big KRIT and Theophilus London, and at the Red Eyed Fly on March 16 (2:15 PM) for the Noise Pop Party. After SXSW K.Flay will be taking her show on a headlining run across the West coast hitting LA, San Francisco, Boise's Treefort Festival, Portland and Seattle along the way before taking the stage at Bonnaroo and Governors Ball in June. Full list of dates is below!

In the months surrounding the much anticipated release of Eyes Shut, K.Flay completed run of dates with Theophilus London, made her national television debut on Last Call with Carson Daly (watch HERE<http://www.nbc.com/last-call-with-carson-daly/video/k-flay/1386778>), and garnered praise from the likes of Billboard, SPIN.com, and the New York Times, who called her "more skilled and perhaps more interesting" than her peers (read HERE<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/arts/music/white-female-rappers-challenging-hip-hops-masculine-ideal.html?pagewanted=all>). There is no question that K.Flay has solidified her status as one of the most exciting new acts of 2012.
