Through the Hosiery

Known for having a nauseating light show and a dance worthy live performance, I was psyched when I got the opportunity to see them in July of 2009. The duo did not disappoint and reined supreme at Melkweg, a concert hall located near my home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Melkweg, also known as The Milky Way for tourists, is familiar to performing artists as being one of the best venues in the world. To see such a unique performance in a mind-blowing concert hall was an unforgettable experience.
As Alice Glass, Ethan Kath, and a live performance only drummer named Christopher Robin, walked on stage, the audience prepared themselves for two hours of absolute chaos and unpredictable madness. For the first five minutes, the dizzy flashing of strobe lights blinded the crowd while Alice appeared and disappeared on stage. Once the magic of the show set in, energy rose from the fans and engulfed Alice, allowing her to drench the crowd in her energized stage presence. While Ethan rarely wandered out from behind the safety of his keyboard, Alice pranced off the stage, danced through the audience and threw herself over the amplifiers.
Through the combination of Alice's crazy antics and Ethan's incredible synthesizer skills, Crystal Castles creates music that will never be forgotten in my mind.
Performing an upcoming show for $35 on October 30 in Chicago at the Congress Theatre, Crystal Castles is not a live performance you want to miss. So, if you are looking for a night of chaos, neon, and raveable madness, Crystal Castles is your perfect electronic fix.
