Grimes is a great performer and was tons of fun but her opening bands, Mykki Blanco and Myths, were so unbearably bad that most of my friends and I had to leave sporadically to get relief from the oppressing barrage of hipster noise, whether Blanco's sad excuse for rap or the trend-chasing Knife knockoff sound of Myths. Furthermore, the crowd at Grimes shows is incredibly annoying. Her fans range from normal, mid 20s people to psycho-goths who don't have control of their outer extremities.
My advice: either show up late enough to miss the opening bands and choose a vantage point far from the cut-through mosh pit at the front OR keep listening to Visions on your headphones and forget the show.
