Los Super Elegantes are a unique punk-mariachi-hip-pop group from Los Angeles (via Tijuana and Buenos Aires). Milena Muzquiz and Martiniano Lopez-Crozet founded the group in 1995 and have mixed original music with theatrical stage improvisations in amusing live performances. Favorites of David Byrne and featured in Index, Interview, ArtForum and the Fader, their 2002 album "Channelizing Paradise" was 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. 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 Indie 103.1, WFMU, and KCRW, on which they played live in 2001. The band is currently working on a new album that will be released in 2006.

The album is now available to download through iTunes, Napster, and other digital providers!

"Less 'rock band' than all-out 'experience,' a thoroughly modern hybrid that defies easy categorization." - The Fader
