In case you didn’t make it to any of MNDR’s sold out shows last week with Neon Indian, there’s been a bit of press out there to remind you what you missed. Latest is a review of the show in the Village Voice:

One-woman Brooklyn-by-way-of-Oakland band MNDR is way, way more enjoyable — I am profoundly suspicious of anyone who self-identifies as “ghettotech,” but she’s brassy and volatile and cheeseball-anthemic in a not-unlike-Lady-Gaga sort of way. “OK, seriously, you can move to this music!” she thunders at a packed house too mesmerized by her light show to move. “This is techno!” Nonplussed, she soon moves on to the next track: “This is about being in love in China. And post-Bush globalization. This is not a joke. Everything I do is dead serious.”

Snowboard-inspired outdoors wear company, Isaora, has featured MNDR’s unreleased “I Go Away” as the musical backdrop in their launch video for their debut collection. Check out men’s and women’s fashions in the Isaora online store and of course, the video below:

MNDR just played two great shows with Neon Indian at the Mercury Lounge in New York. Check out the New York Times review of the Wednesday night show which described MNDR as

“the one-person dance machine Amanda Warner, who unlike the other acts on the bill, had no interest in obscuring anything. Her music was blunt and ecstatic, an antidote to boys in hiding.”

“I don’t want to make a record,” says Amanda Warner, a.k.a. the latest, hottest, most effervescent minimal-techno electro-pop project to hit Brooklyn. “I want every song to be a number one. I want it to be huge and the best thing I can make.” Warner came to Bushwick last winter by way of Oakland, California–but it was in her hometown of Fargo, North Dakota, that she learned to multitrack at the age of nine. “I’m a mega, mega gear nerd,” she admits. MNDR will release her debut album, a collection of singles produced by Peter Wade, in spring 2010. More info at mndrmndr.com — Lucy Madison
