MNDR is heading out on tour with The Ting Tings and she’s bringing along a redesigned live show. The show was music directed and produced by Emmett Farley and the MNDR “Activity Center” was given an aesthetic overhaul in a collaboration with Brooklyn-based technology artists The Rainbroz, AKA Sean McIntyre and Reid Bingham who used an Arduino microcontroller and individually-addressable LEDs to create a new layer of synesthesia on stage. Sean and Reid also collaborate as The Rainbroz on their party favorite, The Rainbow Machine as well as other like-minded creative endeavors. You can see some behind-the-scenes photos of the new MNDR live rig in progress below or see it live on tour now.

If you went to go see the movie Chronicle this past weekend, you may have noticed not one, but two MNDR tracks coming through the theater speakers. The box office number one hit movie features Discmann’s remix of “Jump In” and Hervé’s remix of “Cut Me Out”.
