One of those bands that think they are weird and kooky but try to be trendy and cool at the same time.

This is their most well known song:

Sounds like a drugged up version of Nintendo backing music with some pretty shouty girl punk vox. Pretty fresh, original sound and their live show is apparently rather raucous :P

Didn't they play in 08 and get their set cut short when the singer started climing the rig?

I should hate it, not a big fan of the genre, but I LOVED their album.

Go figure...I couldn't

Much better live than on record IMHO.  Saw them at Connect a couple of years ago.
Her voice on the album begins to grate after a while.  Will see them at Rockness before Glasto.  Any word on new material?

Was enjoying it so much in 2008 when the set got cut short. To be fair she'd climb that scafolding type thing on the John Peel stage, and got right to the top. Suprised the poor girl didn't have a nose bleed.

Last year's Reading performance seemed to have some technical gliches leading to a slightly muted vocal.  As she can be a bit "yelpy" we thought it a big improvement... very enjoyable.

Tremendous news if you ask me. I absolutely loved the first album (which was also called Crystal Castles, wasn't it?)
