I always thought Canadians were so easy going; however, electro-duo Crystal Castles have proven otherwise.
Dear Alice Glass and Ethan Kath:
Are you too cool for school?
Apparently bad blood between Crystal Castles and supporting act Vega contributed to a Dallas, TX show being cancelled. Other reports reveal that the Crystal Castles were disappointed with the venue’s sound system (or perhaps the Granada Theater’s unwillingness to blow out the ear drums of all attendees). In the end, the Castles displayed poor showmanship and dissapointed many fans. Maybe their song “Untrust Us” is more telling than one would typically assume. It could very well be safer to watch them on Youtube.
i saw them open for metric last year and they were pretty awful live. they are another one of those bands that sound good on record but i will probably never see them live again.
