FROM PUSHY TO MINX
As Madeline Minx, I formed Pushy with Olivia Herd and producer DJ Doubleclick. Herd and I attended a Ween concert where we came up with Pushy as tent for all kinds of things -- poptronica, film productions, press and even a political party!
Herd and I made a splash at SXSW where we debuted our music video Suck it Up as well as Pushy buttons and bumper stickers (with slogans like Getting Nowhere? Get Pushy, Eat Pushy and Sushi? No, Pushy). The following year, we released our tape Poptronica on cassette. We made our Pushy presence even pushier at SXSW, this time passing out our poptronica tapes, performing on the fly on street corners and at networking events, and staging a motorcade to announce our political campaign "Pushy for President and First Lady."
