Tomboi

Electronica trio Tomboi braid a pulsing synth with candy guitar licks to force your surrender to the groove. Emotive lyrics swim the effervescent pop stream and further the group’s progressive roots. Stirring wails pick up an urgent gait, gleaming with a wink all the while. These women know how to make you dance.

Members Alex E. (vocal, sequencing, beats, guitar), Paige McMullen (guitar) and Summer Wood (drums) first came together through mutual friends, cementing a deeper bond through music and youth advocacy efforts with local non profits, Girls Rock Jacksonville and JASMYN. They dropped their debut release, Queer Tears EP, March 2014 and another single, Lobos, January 2015. Since then they have shared bills with outfits such as Of Montreal, Big Freedia, Neon Indian, Hunter Valentine, La Femme, The Black Kids, Hunter Valentine, Fit for Rivals, Boyfriend, Moon Hooch, and Hank & Cupcakes. They have performed at events such as 7th Annual AURA Music & Arts Festival, Indie Grits, MurMur Media's Atlanta Zine Fest, NYE333 Fashion Show at MOCA, GastroFest, Elestial Sound Showcase for One Spark, FolioFest, Queer The Fest, Harvey Milk Fest and LadyFest Pensacola.

"Tomboi’s most recent release, a five-song self-titled EP, is a nearly flawless piece of work. Alex E (vocals and sequences), Summer Wood (drums) and McMullen (drums) have managed to mix all of the good things about ’80s dance, ’90s synth rock, and modern electronica and left out all of the bullshit, of which there is much in the aforementioned genres."
- John Citrone, Folio Weekly 2016

"They are three Southern women from Jacksonville, Florida, making heavy, synth-y electronica. There’s more than enough pop to dance to, but their music has weight. The lyrics are smart and gritty, and the beats show experience and precision. "
-Meeghan Kane, AuntieBellum.org 2016

"Musically, TOMBOi marries singer Alex E.'s wildcat vocals with Paige McMullen's snaky, sexy guitar and drummer Summer Wood's cymbal-snapping tendencies. It makes for a helluva indie-electronica dance party."
- Beca Grim, Creative Loafing Atlanta

"A beautiful trio composed of Alex E., Summer Wood, and Paige McMullen, these amazing humans make music with the sound of Tame Impala with a femme twist."
— Haley Murphy, WUSSY Magazine
