Los Super Elegantes are a unique punk-mariachi-hip-pop group from Los Angeles (via Buenos Aires and Tijuana). Featured in Vogue, Interview, ArtForum and the Fader, Martiniano Lopez-Crozet and Milena Muzquiz mix original music with theatrical stage improvisations in amusing live performances, and their album "Channelizing Paradise" has been praised for its quirky, entertaining riffs, and they performed in 2004 as part of the Whitney Biennial in New York and in the Frieze Art Fair in London and in 2006 at Vive Latino in Mexico City and at Art Basel in Miami Beach. Los Super Elegantes have played with Beck, done a version of Nirvana's "Rape Me" in French, DJ'd throughout Europe and North and South America, and have received significant airplay on WFMU and KCRW, on which they played live in 2001. The band's new album, "Nothing Really Matters," will be released in May of 2009.
Press:
Vogue: "Think Captain & Tennille meets the Sex Pistols, doing shots of Cuervo in a hot tub with Serge Gainsbourg while Damien Hirst spin-paints off in the corner." Gorilla Vs. Bear: "The band, whose name loosely translates to 'The Super Elegantes,' is unclassifiable in its greatness. Each song seems to dabble in about 3 different genres and multiple languages, and yet it somehow comes together perfectly." The Fader: "Less 'rock band' than all-out 'experience,' a thoroughly modern hybrid that defies easy categorization." LA Weekly: "A theatrically vibrant blur of thrash-mariachi, psychedlic distortion, histrionic vocals, performance art, punk rock, surrealism, Mexican telenovelas and five-dollar-store fasions." ARTFORUM: "Globe-trotting emissaries of trash in translation, a refreshing brand of cross-cultural misprision... Talk about a surprise vantage on the touchy elisions of imperialist modernism!" Fluxblog: "This is technically an ESG cover, but there's got to be a better word for what Los Super Elegantes do with this song. The basic elements that make "Dance" one of the best dance songs ever written remain intact, but the band adds new verses and hooks that actually build on the greatness of the original. It's rather like buying a buying a beautiful old house and renovating it so that everything you add to the structure only enhances the aesthetic charm of the design." iTunes: "If you're looking for the perfect accompaniment to showcase the latest and greatest hi-fi equipment in your swanky, retro-themed apartment, then Los Super Elegantes have got the perfect atmosphere for you. Our free Single of the Week, "Sixteen," is a blur of go-go rhythms and icily cool melodies. The dueling boy/girl vocals and regal horns are themselves pitted against echoing vocals and laser effects. It's stylish kitsch, just for you."
