GENRE:
Sexy Latin Electro. DIY electro-pop. Perverted pop. A punk mix of electro with Latin rock, a dash of electronic cumbia, a whirlwind of orgasmic sounds, beats, and dance-floor-fillers. Very danceable, very pop, very dirty and rough around the edges. That’s how we like it.
MORE ABOUT:
Mariana Eva has been living between Buenos Aires (Argentina), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and San Francisco (CA-USA), and has settled in São Paulo (Brazil). With a Major in Dance at the Angel Vianna’s University in Rio de Janeiro, Mariana studied cinema and theatre in California where she joined the short movies "Anna" and "The Other Side" among others. In Brazil she was Trip Girl (sensual and arty magazine) and invited editor to the TPM Magazine (a young women’s magazine).
Mariana Eva’s involvement with music is long-lasted. She was part of a girl punk rock band called Polux, an underground hit during the 90s. Back then the group did over 250 shows, participated in many events and festivals, and even opened to the German digital hardcore band Atari Teenage Riot.
After Mariana’s passage trough punk rock she founded the Mim Project, starting her relationship with electronic music. In 2005 she released her first solo album called "Eu Mim Meu". That album has an experimental pop rock taste, having been defined by critics as “perverted pop". Nowadays Madame Mim is working with Vig, a producer who has lived in Brazil where he played with Sergio Dias and Gilberto Gil, but recentlly relocated to London where he has already worked with Avril Lavigne, Eminem, and Tom Aitkenhead from Bloc Party.
In the new Madame Mim project, she felt encouraged by the new electronic Latin Scene, from bands like Maria Daniela y su Sonido Lasser (México), Que Out (Argentina), Dirty Princess, Vanexxa (Espanha). Mariana Eva started composing in the “do it yourself” style inspired by this new trend. That’s the profile of her new public, the audience of her podcasts, blogs, youtube and myspace family - an audience that craves for more spontaneous and creative music. Besides the gigs, Madame Mim works as an actress at MTV Brazil and also as a DJ.

PRESS REVIEWS:
“Vibrant and fun” (Correio da Uberlandia)
“A performance to let your chin fall” (Zero Hora)
“She doesn’t stop even for a second, rolls over on the floor, twists, jumps, scales whatever…” (Remix)
“Rather than bringing plain old Latino beats to proceedings, Madame Mim spices things up with an eclectic mix of punk, electro and rock, all on a sexy Brazilian backbeat. She’s mighty good at somersaults, cartwheels and thrusts as well… Scandalous!” (Planet Notion)
