Being only two rows away from the stage was to be in the presence of an art form almost celestial. The band has long since become go-to background music for when I make art.įast forward to the night of the concert when Canadian-based Electropunk band members Edith Frances and Ethan Kath took their eager listeners by the hand and thrust us into a mosh of frenzied heartbeats. My imagined event was an intimate, dimly-lit, yuppy fashion show supporting local emerging artists, and all I needed to complete the imaginary mood was the right kind of music. Junior art major Caleb Smith suggested them to me during class because one of our projects was to come up with an event, and promote it by means of the design programs we were learning. I was first introduced to Crystal Castles last spring semester in my Communications Design class. But I do think that this is the best concert I have been to yet. I might be a bit bold in saying this was the best concert I have ever been to, but as soon as the concert was over, I wanted to do it all over again. We were more than just excited-two of us had already attended one of their concerts and for the other two, this was our first show. Headlining shows and major festivals all over the globe, the band went onto forge a reputation as one of the most compelling and energetic live acts in music.Ĭrystal Castles’ next two albums - Crystal Castles II and (III) - saw them continue to push the envelope and solidify their place in the upper echelons of experimental electronica. Now fronted by a new singer Edith Francis, and with a new album, 2016’s Amnesty (I) to their name, Crystal Castles is writing a new chapter in their already remarkable story.Cannery Ballroom, Nashville, Tennessee, October 4: The night the rest of Covenant College was watching Josh Garrels in the chapel, me and three of my friends dressed in our grungiest black outfits and drove to Nashville to see Crystal Castles perform on their continuous tour. Drawing critical acclaim, word spread of their explosive, unforgettable, and visceral live performances, propelling them to the forefront of EDM communities around the world.
The Australian tour will be the first time the band have travelled to our shores since 2013, and comes hot off the heels of announcements that the duo has also been confirmed for two of the biggest festivals on the planet - Coachella and Bonnaroo.Ĭrystal Castles changed the face of electronic music and club culture when they burst onto the scene in 2008 with their mind-blowing debut self-titled album. The ground breaking experimental act, famed for their raucous live shows, will be giving Aussie fans a chance to see their new material live for the first time, as well as playing all the well-loved tracks from their self-tittles albums I, II, and III. Electro-punk extraordinaires Crystal Castles are excited to announce they will be coming to Australia in May for an exclusive short run of shows.
