MNDR’s Amanda Warner is making her music video debut in Mark Ronson’s first single “Bang Bang Bang”. The video was directed by Warren Fu and also features Q-Tip along with some intergalactic breakdancers and other party-goers.
VBS.tv (Vice magazine’s online video haven) just posted a great segment on Mark Ronson as part of their Creator’s Project series with Intel. In the clip Mark talks about his career as a DJ and producer and how his new single “Bang Bang Bang”, featuring MNDR and Q-Tip, came together. Watch out for some great live shots of MNDR at about 3:30. Mark Ronson Creator’s Project
Look out for MNDR playing alongside Mark Ronson at the Creator’s Project on June 25th/26th in NYC.
It was a congregation of abbreviations when NME stopped MNDR to talk about her music at SXSW.
I found out later on that she’s a professional ‘top-line’ writer for numerous mahoosive major label popstars. Combine that fact with a nifty sideline in serious minimal techno disc-spinning and all the pieces of her puzzle begin to fall ever-so-neatly into place. We got chatting afterwards. We covered the same conversational ground you’d expect with any lektro-pop hopeful. Y’know; Black Flag, world economics etc.

The Spaceball Ricochet posted a great video of MNDR’s performance at CoCo 66 in Brooklyn on February 20th and even compared her set to seeing MIA back in 2004. Check out that light show!:

The Fader posted a video and reviewed MNDR’s show on February 16th at the Brooklyn Bowl. Take a look!:
When MNDR played our monthly FADER Bowl, we were convinced the crystal necklace she was wearing was going to shoot lasers out of it, or perhaps assist in her animorphing to a unicorn and spiriting away to save a distant land. While that didn’t happen, she did look pretty superhero-like beneath the pink light of the stage, holding court with yet another one of her future mega-hits. And even if she can’t control the universe with her accessories, she clearly has quite a handle over pixel-stars and synth modules, which is good enough for us if she’s gonna keep making songs like this.

MNDR rocked this year CMJ Levi’s/FADER Fort.
Bushwick-lamping pop knob-squelcher MNDR only played second in the line-up of our daylong Levi’s®/FADER Fort celebration, but by that time it was already a sweltering sweatbox. No matter: MNDR powered through, peppering her technicolor synths and amazing warble with abstract and angular dance moves that we loved. Check out “Sparrows” in this video—it’s kind of an office favorite, but one in a series of anthems we simply can’t shut off.

WonderSound artist MNDR featured on Fader TV talking in the studio with producer Peter Wade about her music.
Studio Time with MNDR
Julianne Escobedo ShepherdRight now MNDR is our favorite electronic pop singer/producer and gear head who crafts effervescent jams we simply cannot shake from our brains while posting the deepest, nerdiest, most pocket protectorly posts about synthesizers on her blog. When she’s not performing her “Pon de Floor” remix with Major Lazer at our parties or playing with addictive Oakland mind-gardeners tRIANGLE, she’s recording her debut album in a Chelsea studio with her colleague Peter Wade. We stopped by to hear some amazing new songs and talk to the duo about synths, patches, grindcore and unicorns.
