Glitchy is, sketchy do?

 

Crystal Castles have canceled their Oct 27th Vancouver show.

In other recent CC news, this from NME:

Crystal Castles have revealed how they used a getaway car to escape from Brighton police – after officers were called during a particularly raucous show by the electro duo.     

Ethan Kath told The Independentthat during a recent festival show in the coastal town, which he didn’t specify, authorities were called because of the frenetic antics of frontwoman Alice Glass.

“They called the cops on Alice for riling up the crowd,” he explained. “After our show, the promoter said the police were there to arrest her and we needed to disappear, so we had to get in a getaway car.”

Elaborating on why the police may have been called, Kath added, “The live experience is all about Alice.

“She is a mental case on stage, and is just uncontrollable. She loses herself in the music. After the show, she is covered in bruises and she can’t remember how they got there.”

 

Im sure some of you have heard about their stolen art work, T-shirt logo scandal which was recently settled. 

??-Maybe the cancellation has something to do with their previous Vancouver outing where the group were late to the stage and when they finally went on, only played for 20 minutes?  -It was however, reported to be a mind-blowing 20 minutes.  

Perhaps their previous outing cost them some of their less than amused fans and ticket sales were slow?  

Despite their, “issues” they’re currently still one of my big crushes right now and would almost go so far as saying that their album has been one of the most exciting and fully wholesome things to happen in electronic music since Daft Punk’s “Homework” and I was looking forward to the show.  

I’d love to hear more about why they’re canceling shows too, so hit us up if you know more…..  

In the meantime I will rejoice with my refunded $30 which I will now use to buy enough inhalants to get me through the wknd.

    my friend emailed their label and they said the agents booked the show not knowing Crystal Casltes would be driving across the US..so they are cancelling because its impossible to make the 2day drive to vancouver from their show in chicago the day before
