“ Mignon fluently blends rock, electronica, pop and punk into music that is heartfelt and real. Everything about Mignon feels right.
She rocks out, but doesn’t try too hard to be something she is 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

"...Mignon has Halloween accessories, a groovebox and songs like ' Succubus'...there's a real sonic flair here, in the flamboyant organ flourishes of 'Littel Miss Feelgood' or the staccato R&B poise of 'Nightmare' while 'Death Race' and 'Supernatural Romance' are great catchy electro-pop-tunes. Ridiculously camp throughout, it peaks with amusing anal-intruding wrestling anthem, 'Violence'.Sparklt Tackle. - NME UK 2007
“Some of the most outstanding songs in this album are ‘Hot Love’, ‘Assassin’ and “Santa Muerte’, with the last one having this
Mexican feeling of an endless summer and tons of tequila in it. And truth to be told the whole album is damn brilliant and
amazing” Refelectionsofdarkness.com

"For Mignon, Crazy Girls wasn't just another gig, but an extension of her onstage persona, there was enough of a spectacle to entertain the crowd, which included Mignon's hard rockin' friends Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age), Amen's Casey Chaos and bad ass drummer Samantha Maloney (Hole, Motley Crue, Peaches). Several of the club's dancers joined Mignon on stage as she thrashed between band members and slithered up to the crowd."

Mignon steht in der Tradition anderer grosser freaky, crazy, krasser (Wahl-) Berliner Bühnensau-Frauen wie Peaches, Cobra Killer und Chicks on Speed. Nur halt dass Mignon neben dem üblichen Groovebox-Gegroove im Electro Pop ein paar Gitarren aus der Abteilung Schweine-metal mit im Angebot führt, was dieses Musik zum Electro Rock macht.

Live optræder Mignon i ansigtsmaling, smider røgbomber og bruger falske knive og Freddie Krueger-handsker. Det billede ligger bestemt ikke langt fra det, som dukker op på fantasiens nethinde, når man lytter til debuten.

Bio
Frankenstein dreamt up a rockn roll bride for the 21st century, with Mignons music earning herself a comixture of
comparisons from Joan Jett and Lita Ford to a vicious Kate Bush and a bullish PJ Harvey.
With her latest album "Kiss Of Death" released in 2011 Mignon explores her lust for heaving guitars and the raw sound of pummeled drum skin. Dirtied desert-howling bass lines and snarling riffs produce a high-powered album of balls-to-the-walls anthems, which will stain your mouth and sit in your throat like a splintered candy apple washed down with a hot shot of Jaegermeister. Once you got the taste, you wont be forgetting them in a
hurry. Mignon isnt going to stop until she has everyone on their knees, with only one womans name on their lips and a toxic
warning sign painted on every collar.
The Mignon story goes back to 2002 when she toured alongside Peaches as a performer and vocalist. Discovering a similar
taste in music and a desire to shock audiences, they began to co-wrote and perform tracks together, playing at UK festivals
Leeds Reading and Australia's Big Day Out. Mignon is featured in Peaches Rock-Opera Film "Peaches Does Herself" premiered in 2012 .
In 2003 Mignon kicked off her solo career with performances across the UK, USA
and Europe. Her punk demeanour and appetite for hair-raising rock'n' roll has seen her having practically toured the world,
sharing the stage with the likes of Peaches, Trail of Dead.., Queens of The Stone Age and 2012 Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. These live performances became best known for erupting with a combination of face-paint and smoke-bombs, bloodied nurses and military ensembles, fake knives and fiery leather pants.
