I like them quite a lot, yeah. Sometimes the vox get a bit grating,but generally they're awesome.

Seeing them live in May as well

I was going to see them last month but things didn't work out =/

GravitySlips · 03-12-2008, 03:43 PM

no luck.

I've got quite a few good electro shows coming up...The Whip, Digitalism, MSTRKRFT, Crystal Castles and Simian Mobile Disco. Much dancing will be done!

Are you serious? It's probably bigger in LA alone than it is in all of Europe combined. You've got guys like Steve Aoki making this **** popular all over the place, and it seems like everyone and their mother is in love with Justice. I mean, just look at the Coachella lineup this year. They basically got the entire rosters of Modular, Ed Banger, and Institubes records, not to mention all the Indie/Dance groups they got like Hot Chip, etc. Compare that to the rest of the dance music on the lineup and it's obvious which genre is more popular. So, yeah, I’d say Electro House has basically taken over the US. Even without Coachella, I've had the chance to see MSTRKRFT, Crystal Castles, and Digitalism within recent months, so maybe this stuff isn't big in Boston, but it certainly is elsewhere. Last I checked Boston wasn't really a hotbed for dance music anyway.

Crystal Castles is ok. I really liked them when I first heard them ages ago, but it seems like the more they release the less I like them. I saw them live in October and they weren't really that good, either.

Sigh, I'm sick of people who've never been here assuming they know what's going on.

Hey, speaking of assumptions! Besides, it's not like you need to go to Europe to understand the music scene in just about any country. As I told enemyatthesix, using nothing but Google blog search I could probably tell you more about what's happening in Croatia than you could. Oh, the wonders of the internet!

And you've probably never been to LA, so you know, STFU. Busy P and and the Ed Banger guys probably spend more time here than they do in Paris.

i like their instrumental work, their artwork is good, but godammit I hate scenesters. Crystal Castles are like something straight out of Nathan Barley. i'll save my Vice rant for another time
