Mignon - Electrogogo July 1st

Reviewed by Clapperpaw on 22/07/2004

Mignon goes “GO-GO!”

With two horns raised high and a third that lies eternally writhing beneath her black leather hot pants, there’s nothing she wont bite and nothing she can’t chew and so little birds and well endowed men beware, Satan isn’t even safe from the bitch from Berlin…

Mignon the merciless never leaves a boast unwarranted; you’ll know this if you have ever caught one of her live performances. She will however, leave you enslaved by her metallic, satanic, rap trapping electro-voodoo that’ll have you dancing ‘till the end upon smashing your knee caps in.
Having recently initiated two new minions into her scream squad of rap and risqué, (Miss June and Jan.V.H alias Dr.Evil-Drum), Mignon and her band take on and tear up a few towns on her ‘Bad Girl’ UK tour to celebrate her second step of mass domination; her first EP released on July 1st.  Featuring 3 tracks ‘Bad Girl’ (Feat. Peaches), ‘Demons of Love’ and ‘Death Race’, the EP is unleashed to tide us over until her debut album sees the light of day and devours it with a darkly delicious lengthy romp of sinister synth-filled exploits and vivacity that translates from record to stage flawlessly. Mignon’s lyrics are as domineering as they are playful, straight from the tongue of a sex kitten that isn’t afraid to get her claws out and paws dirty. Speaking of tongues, you better get a taste of Mignon whilst keeping yours firmly tucked away because her ‘bad, evil, wicked and mean’ ways mean the closest you get to French kissing this bad girl is as if she’s removing a snail from its shell “when they go to kiss me and I bite of their tongue”…


Taste a little love the demonic way, first with your ears then with your eyes and I promise you, you will fall under the spell of Little Miss Feel-Good…

Her first London performance brings her and her infestation of loyal minions crawling to the rather felicitous seedy dwelling of club Electrogogo in Soho; an intimate and seemingly clean joint except for the smut ‘n’ smoke-stained air that bleeds on the walls from the blearing dark electro ditties entertaining the crowd. Many an after-show party has left its’ decadent footprints across the carpets of Madame JoJos and with this nights line-up, the sights and sounds render any after-show aspects obsolete because all the action you need to witness comes in the form of one lady , woman,  banshee? (We’ll leave the definitions up to the woman herself).
The venue also happens to dip into a stage area via a few steps with a high platform so the feeling of being in captivity or perilous territory is heightened.
