Red Bull artists’ Wrestlers will be doing 7 shows in 4 nights for Art Basel 2015 Miami. The electronic group comes from Huston, TX and brings live elements that Miami is sure to love. The group began as a duo but has recently expanded to a 4 piece which makes each of their live shows unique. Check out their bio, new songs, and full list of Art Basel shows below.
Wrestlers began in producer Aidan Kennedy’s dorm room in 2012 with songs made for the dance floor featuring a blend of pop, R&B, and traditional club influences. Soon after the release of the critically celebrated debut EP 100% Panther on France’s Plik & Plok Records, Kennedy enlisted friend and collaborator David Elkin to grow Wrestlers from bedroom recording project to full blown stage show. Together, the duo developed the band’s live performance landing the group slots at major festivals in the US and Canada including Lollapalooza, Counterpoint, Hangout Fest and more. Wrestlers’ lineup has since grown into a four-piece outfit, making for a vastly dynamic performance where no two shows are alike. Just last month, their double-single “Perennial,” featuring Shy Girls and Jesse Boykins III, was praised by the likes of Stereogum and Interview Magazine.
