SXSW may be over, but the shakeout in the blogosphere over which buzz band #WON is definitely just beginning. I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat in the ring for fast-rising All Things Go favorites Foster the People . I caught their day show on Thursday at the Filter/Columbia Records showcase . Unfortunately there was a dueling Irish folksinger in the tent next door (it being St. Patricks day and all) but Foster the People still brought their brand of synthy love-fun 110%. Check out MNDR 's remix of their hit "Pump Up Kicks" [...]

LA's Foster the People are definitely getting a lot of (well-deserved) mileage out of their excellent 2010 jam "Pumped Up Kicks" and its summer-sunset, haze-heavy wandering bassline. Latest example is MNDR 's bubbly, eightes'd-out reworking – electro genius Amanda Warner ups the clattering percussion to eleven and brings out the whole thing's dance floor potential without damaging its hazy, lazy, end-of-the-summer vibe. Distant, rooftop-to-rooftop megaphone vocals intact, whistling solo retained – but this one will make you want to dance. Both Foster the People and MNDR are gaining fast-growing buzz on their own [...]

I love this song by MNDR (aka Amanda Warner), the dance pop diva from New York who's poised to blow up any day now. (That is, if doing a song with Mark Ronson and Q-Tip isn't blown up enough already.) Her four-song EP released last year was pretty great, a short and sweet introduction to a significant talent, full of danceable beats and swelling sing-along refrains. "Cut Me Out" continues to build on that, boasting more twitchy beats and sparkling synths topped off with her catchiest chorus yet. Suggested listening place: in your car, with the windows down, [...]
First off, shout out to HerCampus for their writeup on us the other day ! Ask your girl about us... Next, I overheard someone talking about MNDR the other day, and, as I always do if I'm not familiar with an artist that people are talking about, I had to check out MNDR's music. After some research, I was very impressed by MNDR, so I wanted to post up what I found in case others aren't familiar. Their bio on GLS describes MNDR, the duo of vocalist Amanda Williams and producer [...]
Chromeo's Dave 1 and P-Thugg brought their 80s style electrofunk "Risky Business" tour" to the Pomona Fox Theatre along with openers MNDR and The Suzan. Their latest "Business Casual" and major hit "Fancy Footwork" had everyone in the theatre in a full-on dance party the entire night, even prompting guys to take off their shirts. The duo will be making an appearances at both SXSW and Sasquatch. Photos by Debi Del Grande Chromeo [View with PicLens] [...]
On an inexplicably rainy night in southern California, a group of twenty-somethings gathered around Pomona's gorgeous Fox Theatre. The group quickly became a gang, which eventually turned into a full-on queue line that led two blocks down the street. At this point it was abundantly clear: Pomona loves them some Chromeo . Then again, it seems as though everyone loves them a little Chromeo. Ninety percent of their dates on their "Risky Business" tour with openers The Suzan and MNDR completely sold out. This was to be Chromeo's last stop [...]
Best way to spend a Friday night? Go to a Chromeo concert. Great dance party with a band that was meant to be heard live. The first opener was The Susan, a Japanese, all-girl punk band. I was expecting something a little more badass. I don't know why, but I really should have considered the [...]
More often than not, when I see a band perform on multiple occasions they fail to live up to the magic of the first time. Last Friday at Terminal 5, Chromeo proved to be one of few anomalies as they continue to elevate their game from show to show. This was their first New York performance since the release of Business Casual , and for the first time since I initially saw them live (in 2009 at street Scene in San Diego) they had an album's worth of new material to add to their show. Chromeo presented [...]
Mark Ronson has a keen sense of appealing to the British public; his first record with The Business International, entitled Record Collection , enlists an all-star cast of U.K. artists including Kyle Falconer and Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran. Le Bon appears with known grime slinger Wiley on the title track, and also on a new remix which features more up and coming British rappers Wretch 32 and Professor Green, as well as Pharrell and MNDR (who you will recall appear on "Bang Bang Bang" ). The beat is slightly [...]
Ever since I read about - and got hooked on - electropop-IDM sensation MNDR (Amanda Warner) on Sheena Beaston's blog , it seemed that well-earned hype has grown exponentially. MNDR is everywhere: magazines, radio, blogs, Facebook advertisements, Mark Ronson's infectious "Bang Bang Bang," and now on tour with Chromeo . Maybe it was all the hype or maybe it was my love for everything she's written with behind the scenes bandmate Peter Wade, but I had high expectations for [...]
Monday Music is the weekly wherein SOIWT dispenses with its trademark London focus and goes global. It's the musical equivalent of KFC offering beef burgers and pork chops. Which would be a crap idea. Yes. But this isn't a crap idea. No. Hmm. Good. Let's begin.. Alexander - Truth ( mp3 ) This is no ordinary Alexander, but Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes fame. And, as one might reasonably expect from such an eccentric, charismatic frontman, this is partly a nuts number: think whistling like when an outsider enters a [...]
Amanda Warner rocks out under the name MNDR (pronounced MANDAR or however you want to say it). The electronic demigoddess has a new single out that aims to put the spark in your legs. Be sure to catch it after the break. MNDR-Cut-Me-Out.mp3 MNDR - Cut Me Out Download read more

MNDR - Cut Me Out The first time you heard NYC duo MNDR on record was probably the Mark Ronsons/Q-Tip collaboration "Bang Bang Bang," which was definitely in a recent Gossip Girl episode and in the new "No Strings Attached" Natalie Portman/Ashton Kutcher sex vehicle. "Bang Bang Bang" is one of the most irresistible songs of 2010 and it looks like it's finally hitting the small and big screens. Their new single on Green Label Sound , "Cut Me Out" is another dope electropop effort. It would be hard to [...]
Electro-pop artist MNDR , aka Amanda Warner, released her first single, "Cut Me Out", today as a free download (grab it here ). She made a big splash last year when she teamed up on vocals with Q-tip on Mark Ronson's big single "Bang, Bang, Bang." She's about to head out on some dates with Chromeo which will include a stop at Terminal 5 on February 4th (sold out). All dates here . Currently she performs solo on a synth in front of a digital visual display. I'm hoping [...]
