After having seeing them seven times, i have to admit that going to Crystal Castles show is always the same… The stage is plunged into darkness, no lights for the musicians except the stroboscopes that helps creates the electro-trance atmosphere.
During one hour Ethan Kath, the man in the shadow, play the electro-low-fi-punk music as Alice Glass is screaming and throwing herself into the crowd, it’s a performance.
Three untitled albums later, the music is darker than ever and the band seem to have no plans and no compromises, no desire of being glamour like many other bands (wearing designers clothes in a fashion magazine and blah blah)
« Music and lights », the « shitty » video below… (you spend more time fighting in the pit, than seeing the show…)
