The saga of Steve Buscemi and Vampire Weekend continues, and this time we get not one but two promo videos! The first finds Steve in the park with a friend, only to run into Claire Boucher, aka Grimes , and James Brooks, formerly of Elite Gymnastics . Watch as Steve gets denied when inviting her to Easter brunch. The second video is of that lovely Easter brunch, where Steve and the Vampires paint easter eggs and discover the spirit of Easter. Check them both out below, and if you haven't seen the [...]

The narrative behind Steve Buscemi and Vampire Weeknd's partnership for their upcoming American Express UNSTAGED webcast (4/28) becomes more robust with today's promo videos. Before the collaboration was officially announced, we all had a bit of a " huh? " moment when they all appeared together in NYC's Easter Day Parade. Connections start to be made in this clip featuring Grimes, who made waves this week when she posted what's being called an " epic feminist manifesto ." Here, you can watch her in an adorably awkward exchange with Buscemi about Easter plans. Check out their odd, but [...]

Ayer fue el cumpleaños de Grimes , y por eso su amigo Elite Gymnastics decidió regalarle un cover a "Ours" de Taylor Swift, con un poco de "Beauty and a Beat" de Justin Bieber. Enjoy. ♩ Elite Gymnastics - 私たちのもの ( O U R S )

totem, here, checking back in with everyone before this year comes to a close. Now, it wouldn't be New Year's at Salacious without some year-end lists would it? You've already had the opportunity to peruse Statik 's extensive 'Bass Music Awards' but that's not quite the end of our "Best of 20123 series. Featured below is the second edition of my top 25 downtempo and left-field remixes. As with last year's edition, this list focusses on the best remixes in 'left-field', 'experimental', or chillout electronica. I spent a great deal of time crafting this list and ranking the tracks accordingly. I [...]

The El Rey crowd arrived early and packed in tightly on Wednesday night, the second of two sold out shows by electronic artist Grimes. Touted as “The Mythical Gymnastics Tour,” the first act of the evening would be fellow Canadians, Myths. The female duo dressed in elaborate costumes, and had colorful video projections as the backdrop, helping to set the mood by adding the initial layer of décor to the stage. The next act would be the eccentric Elite Gymnastics. Opening with a cover of a Spice Girls song, the one-man show lamented on equipment [...]
It was the first real taste of colder weather in Austin Saturday night, and I got the chance to see Grimes and accompanying acts on the Mythical Gymnastics tour at Emo's. Even though the show sold out weeks ago, the venue announced the release of 100 more tickets, allowing the already packed space to feel even more like a weekend night on the dance floor of Barbarella (which isn't a bad thing). More after the jump... First up was Vancouver duo Myths . Shrouded in veils and glittery capes, they took [...]

While she's put out a few releases prior to this last effort, people are taking notice, and it's [...]
It's hump day. It's time to roll yourself into the latter part of the week. I have a busy day ahead of me, so let's get right into it, shall we. First up, you have Grimes, Elite Gymnastics, & Myths over at Mercy Lounge . If you are an electro pop fan, this is definitely the show for you. Maybe you can even get lucky and grab one of those almost creepy "pussy rings" that Grimes has started selling over at the merch table. You can have a listen to Grimes' "Genesis" below. [...]

Vancouver-born and Montreal-based Grimes—or Claire Boucher—played Toronto’s Lee’s Palace on September 21 st along with two opening acts. Myths (comprised of Lief Hall and Quinne Rodgers) kicked things off just after ten, stage decorated with fake flowers and instruments draped in gauzy white cloth. Wearing skeleton and flower themed outfits, the duo’s electro-pop performance seemed somewhat out of sync and at times offered a ruthless sensory explosion—such as when one of the girls picked up and danced with the strobe light, blinding the audience every three seconds. Next up was Elite Gymnastics, or James Brooks—the other [...]

I think as a general rule for concerts. if they’re selling pussy rings inside, then you know you’re in for a good time. At the Union Transfer Thursday night, all the local hipsters, weirdos, and goth kids piled in to check out witch house act Grimes. Having minimal experience with Grimes beforehand, I went in not entirely knowing what to expect. As soon as Grimes first stroked her synth though, she cast her spell of gothic electronica and entranced me into her creepy cocoon. Opening up the set was Grimes’ [...]

Michael Tucker is a man who seems to be doing everything exactly right, at exactly the right time, amongst exactly the right people. More widely known as Blood Diamonds and hailing from either Vancouver, Kansas, LA or Brooklyn depending on whose information you read, Tucker is delivering consistently excellent material both with his original productions and rapidly expanding portfolio of remixes. Blood Diamonds' sound is hard to characterise definitively, but we'd say that innovative, futuristic pop is probably a good shout to sum up an output that draws as much influence from summery, beachy chillwave as it does R&B and [...]

Come fall, Vancouver sci-fi pop alchemist Grimes is probably coming to your town with two amazing, innovative electronic acts, Myths and Elite Gymnastics , in tow, and you’d be totally remiss not to go. Grimes ’ live set gets better every time we see her (based on her upward trajectory in the last year, the next show we catch will probably melt our faces off); we’ve heard great things about Elite Gymnastics ’ live set, not to mention their new material; and we love [...]
