New Locals Vega Apparent Victims of Crystal Castles’ “Prima Donna”-ism
Austin Sound — Photo by Richard Card Something of a scandal has been developing the past two days between new local electronic act Vega (aka Alan Palomo, formerly of Denton band Ghosthustler) and Crystal Castles. After a successful show together at La Zona Rosa this past Monday (pics via Ultra8201), controversy broke up a scheduled show last night at the Granada Theater in Dallas. According to GvsB, Vega were ousted as openers shortly before the show began, due partly to accusations from CC’s camp of ...

CGT Coachella Dance Card
Classical Geek Theatre — This will be my fifth year attending Coachella. Last year I only went one day but the rest I attended in full. Every year I read indie rock blogs slag the festival, and every year their shots bounce off the bullet-proof glass of truth. That is to say, the festival has always been worth my time and money and usually the days I attended rank as some of my favorite days of the year. Of all the times I've attended this year by far offers the most agonizing personal conflicts. Without further ado, here is what I hope to cover at Coachella. Always subject to change.

Finally, I've been working on a piece called Bands From The Last Few Years That Sound Like Orbital But Aren't Orbital. I'm struggling. I'm trying to avoid obvious bands from 'back in the day' like Leftfield that Last FM or iTunes would obviously point out.

Bonnaroo Preview: Crystal Castles
Out the Other — ... A fine example would be Toronto’s Crystal Castles. Crystal Castles take all the filth and fury of a punk act, focus that energy into a heavy dance groove, and execute the whole thing with prehistoric Atari sounds. The finished product comes out subdued-but-fierce, exotic-but-classic, and wholly postmodern in the scariest sense of the word. On stage, hooded maestro Ethan Kath hovers ominously over a synthesizer, bobbing his head while a nameless drummer reinforces the backbeat. The rest of the show owes the bulk of its energy to the band’s freakishly captivating ...

DOWNLOAD: White Lies - Death (Crystal Castles Remix)
RCRD LBL — Never ones to pussyfoot, Crystal Castles have taken White Lies' request to remix "Death" as a cue to transform it into one of their own tracks, Harry McVeigh's vocal messed with so that the singer seems sliced at the throat and buried alive beneath shifting synth thrusts and impatient drum muck. The more vigilant among you may remember this track from last year, but this is a new edit, bloodlust revived, shining, fresh meat to stuff in your ears. Sounds Like: Pictureplane, a murderous garden ...

5 acts to avoid
State Magazine — It’s not all brilliant music and good times at a festival. There’s always the occasional ear-splitting, vomit-inducing act which comes along at the wrong moment and makes the idea of spending a day in a portaloo a much more appealing prospect.

Radiohead, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Reading Festival
State Magazine — ... Passion Pit are a difficult crowd to follow, but Crystal Castles pull it off with some style. A dark, brooding take on the nu-rave scene, the two-piece have the NME tent jumping euphorically throughout, glow sticks flying. Their sound is a pacey, pulsing aural barrage, backed by some classic dance-floor-filling melody, and a bit of a musical aside for a rock-heavy festival. Dance acts are increasingly accepted here, though, and when they put in performances like this even the black-clad, heavily-pierced miserablists hanging over the barrier can’t help admitting that there’s ...

Austinist — ... then we have the lo-fi recordings of "Air War" and "Bitter Hearts" to tide us over. The bouncy blips and sharp gameboy-esque glitches come just short of a rave, serving as the perfect muse for their chaotic live shows. The beats are balanced by lead singer Alice Glass's vocals, which cut through sound waves like, well, glass. For just two people, they manage to produce an aura that's pretty ferocious, warping their melodies into the brain like a disease. Crystal Castles: [myspace] [Crimewave Video] ...
