‘Like touching your tongue on the tip of a battery, Crystal Castles are electrifying. It’s that simple’ - FasterLouder
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Crystal Castles are producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass.  Since their landmark first single ‘Alice Practice’ was released – and immediately sold out - in June 2006, the duo have been surrounded by an air of persistent hype and mystique.
To date, Crystal Castles has racked up a staggering 70 million plus plays on MySpace and Last FM, and has headlined sold out tours around the world.  Live, Crystal Castles are renowned for brutal and uncompromising performances.  At the 2008 Glastonbury festival, organizers were forced to temporarily pull the plug on the duo when Glass climbed onto the rigging.   Of their 2009 Australian tour, FasterLouder says ‘Like touching your tongue on the tip of a battery, Crystal Castles are electrifying. It’s that simple.’
Don’t miss Crystal Castles when they return to Australia in January 2011 for the Big Day Out, with side shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
Also, be sure to get your official Big Day Out edition of Crystal Castles ‘II’, due for release on January 21 2011 through Shock Records, featuring “Not In Love” with Robert Smith, and more remixes.
