http://www.ticketweb.com/snl/VenueListings.action?venueId=10598 Crystal Castles and DJ Alex Zelenka at Logan Square Auditorium
Often bratty, occasionally beautiful, Toronto-based boy-girl electro duo Crystal Castles deconstructs dance hits and rebuilds them to the circuit-bent 8-bit beat of ancient game consoles. (The band does share its moniker with a 1983 Atari hit, after all.) While lead programmer Ethan Kath and singer Alice Glass have earned most of their acclaim as a remix act (Bloc Party, Klaxons, Uffie), their solo output has its own unique, rip-it-up-and-hotwire-it-again impact that volleys wildly between deafening cyberpunk bombast and oscillating waves of cold, futurist dystopia. That bombast will serve the group well as it helps ring in 2010 at the Logan Square Auditorium.
