Our very first edition of O Music Awards Unboxed was held in February at The Studio at Webster Hall. The party included the unveiling of brand-new video/photo-sharing app Cameo, sets by orchestral pop band Miracles of Modern Science and dance-synth act MNDR, a soon-to-be-interactive music video shoot for the aforementioned dance-synth act, and an appearance by the extremely rad Rainbow Machine.
Welcome to another edition of WTF Wednesday, in which bands tell us what the f**k they’re looking at online. This week, we hit up Amanda Warner — a.ka. MNDR — who told us all about her obsession with her friend’s super random Tumblr, as well as a documentary about KARP (the band, not the swimmy kind).
New Yorkers: Dust off your credit cards and fire up your laptops, tickets for the O Music Award’s very first Unboxed event go on sale today. MNDR, Miracles of Modern Science, a mystery app, a rainbow machine, an interactive music video shoot, and tons of dancing — got a better way to spend your February 23rd? We didn’t think so.
MNDR (pronounced thusly, not “Minder”) may not have released its first LP yet — that’s due out later this year — but that didn’t stop the electro band from nabbing an O Music Award nomination for “Best Web-Born Artist.” The band, headed up by gear head Amanda Warner, managed to make a name for itself through the web, resulting in the release of E.P.E., a power-packed EP that’s got us fiending for the full-length.
