Brooklyn Vegan was on hand to witness MNDR’s sold-out performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, opening for Yacht. Looks like it was a crazy show with projections in full effect:

The Village Voice selected MNDR as one of the top New York-based acts to see for their “SXSW Cheat Sheet 2010”. With shows lined up over the week, you’ll be able to experience what the Village Voice did firsthand:

Sneaking onto a snoozy recent Mercury Lounge lineup of charisma-less “chillwave” wallflowers, flagrantly nerdy electro-diva MNDR dropped like a bomb, with an enormous pair of glasses, an epilepsy-inducing light show, some fantastic dance-pop jams (“Fade to Black” especially), and a bombastic, unignorable personality: “OK, seriously, you can move to this music! This is techno!” The Fader is in love with her, and rightly so: An apparent tech-head, she can build you an amp out of spare parts and then blast all manner of engrossing egghead dance-floor ephemera through it. Here’s your Lady Gaga in training, if she doesn’t morph into something weirder, flashier, better.

Check out the rest of the list here and of course, catch MNDR at upcoming SXSW performances.

The Princeton Record Exchange Blog listed MNDR as one of the top ten bands to see at this years upcoming South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas.

She’s the one-woman show that has been slowly stealing the hearts of hipsters everywhere. To see her on stage is something else — tables of computers, keyboards and wires — it looks like some kind of ninth grade physics project. What blasts out of the speakers are well crafted mixes of electro-pop and dance, literally making it impossible to stand still. Match this energy with MNDR’s voice, which is both understated and intoxicating, and what you have is the perfect vibe for that basement party you’ve been meaning to throw.

MNDR’s Amanda Warner was interviewed by Full Frontal Fashion about her glasses, favorite jewelry store, and her thoughts on the new year.

This tall spire of awesome with the fluffed-out blonde cloud of hair and giant white eyeglasses (love, love, love them) put on the most incredible, dance-crazy show I have seen in a while at Coco 66 this past weekend. Before I saw her, I had heard two tracks and was totally feeling it, but I have to say that seeing her break it down live, with a goemetric light show flickering over her to the beat of her voice, is a whole different and amazing thing. MNDR is little bit M.I.A., a little bit Cyndi Lauper, a whole lot exactly what my iPod has been dying for.
