The best kept secret in music
Press
"Mignon's not afraid to wear what she wants, sing what she wants, scream what she wants and even get bloody what she wants. From the beginning of the set her songs were catchy, her energy was high, her band was tight, and the music rocked. Mignon fluently blends rock, electronica, pop and punk into music that is heartfelt and real. Everything about Mignon feels right. She rocks out, but she doesn't try too hard to be something she's not. ....be who you are, do what you want, find out what's cooking in the kitchen even if it is getting steamy."
LA Record - Linda Janota

Bio
Hi, I’m Mignon, wanna play?
Completely written and composed by the mistress of shock rockin’ show tunes
herself, Mignon is still pulling the strings on her third full-length release ‘Toys Tantrum’ …
Her box of tricks may come spewing collaborations bloody galore but as always
in true genre-shifting tradition, Mignon’s toy gun is cocked, aimed and
pointing in a new direction only she can fire…
BANG!
Has it hit you yet? This is the sound of an artist you couldn’t label or shelve, even if you dared.
Moving even further out of shot from her ‘Bad Girl’ days of metallic-tinged electropop, when she teamed up with Peaches and supported Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. Mignon has once again defied expectations to deliver a surprisingly new and
arresting sound. Armed with a Hondo she resurrected from the backyard graves of
East Berlin (heard on ‘Hands of Time’),
a waterphone (Google it kids), and a guitar bought in Austin on a 2013 USA road
trip, she’s exorcising her demons with an eclectically spookish mix of searing
rock ‘n’ roll and Spaghetti Western-esque swagger.
From the feverish
60’s-fuelled shakedown of ‘Make Believe’
and frenetic burn of ‘Bulldog” to the jubilant murder march of
‘Fiesta’ and hauntingly jaunty ‘Ghost of a Memory’ (featuring the one
and only Adrian Strout of The Tiger
Lillies on the singing saw), Toys Tantrum
is a dreadfully addictive play date with one of Germany’s best kept ‘n creepy
secrets!
Other album guests include, Fredovic from ‘King Khan and the Shrines’ on the Hammond Organ, the String Quartet
most recently noted for their collaboration with Rufus Wainwright, Corwin Hambrick on bass/guitar and Mathias
Brendel on Drums.
Toys Tantrum is out on: March 15th 2017
Released by BadGirl-Records.
Come wind it up and fall under its insanely mischievous spell!
