Crytsal Castles 2013

[swampy]

Crystal Castles have a nice Glastonbury sized gap in their 2013 European tour....

Oh please god no, they are fupping awful.

[little_jim]

They are extremely poor, please no..! I say that but hey each to their own, there are always other places to go. They just aint my cup of tea.!

[FloorFiller]

i hope so. amazing live act, and really been loving their new album

[Lewis Cato]

Really annoyed that I missed them on their last tour; videos looked fantastic. Seen them four times and would love to see them again.

Not even kidding at reading I swear alice was just coked up rolling on the floor making noises loudly to shitty beats. i'l give it a miss.

I remember seeing them support Blur back in 09 at Hyde Park I think it was, and the bird came out wearing a t-shirt say Liam G should die of cancer (something along them lines). Okay im a fan of Oasis yea Liam is a dick and the whole Oasis V Blur thing that went on years ago was a laugh but for her to come out wearing something like that I find very silly and distasteful.

I think I put myself through watching them again at Reading one year waiting for Ash to come and headline this tiny tent.!

[willutalk]

Yes!! I think they'd be great (somewhere on Other)!!!

[beau1]

That is exactly what they did, and it was incredible.

Crowd was epic? People next to me were laughing and asking if she was having a seizure on stage?

[PDAD]

Okay, im just a sucker for moshing but Crystal Castles are very hit and miss live....obviously, Alice was a wreck at Reading, but when on form, they can be awesome....very risky though

Can see them headlining JPT. There seems to be tonnes of potential JPT and Other headliners this year.

[markeee]

I'm not sure..I do like crystal castles a bit..but sometimes they just suck it's just noise and shouting...

as to where - I'd have thought JP

[Bort]

The thing about Crystal Castles live is you have to be up front and at whatever side Alice decides to fuck with. Otherwise, it's rubbish.

[howlin_pete]

Whenever I play this song, the volume gets turned waaaayy up, I imagine it would be immense live.

I like them more on record, was disappointed when I saw them on the NME awards tour a couple of years ago (Just after II).

There's something there with them...I am not sure what....I can accept they are pretty shit and just make noise.

[Vieuphoria]

Crystal Castles not being at any festival is an impossibility.

that said, they're fucking brilliant.

"Alice was a mess!"

Isn't that sort of her shtick? The nihilistic attitude, the atonal banshee wailing, the whiskey necking. I'd be disappointed if I went to a CC show and she WASN'T a "mess".

[mrtourette]

What size is Glastonbury so that when a band has a hole in their schedule it becomes Glastonbury-sized? I've seen two days descibed as Glastonbury-sized and now nineteen days.

I think they make a terrible racket, but still respect them for doing what ever the fuck they want. Lots of people like it so fair play.

I love how for the past 60 odd years most of the most legendary acts have been a total mess live, or in their social life, and somehow today it's frowned upon.
