audible: Sasquatch! Sundays: Crystal Castles

I wonder how many segments I'll start and stop?

Here's the newest brilliant idea: 'Sasquatch! Sundays' — every Sunday I do a spot a band that I am pumped to see at the Sasquatch! Music Festival on May long weekend until I board that plane bound for Sasquatchdom. iCal is even going to remind me to do it.

This week, CRYSTAL CASTLES. Holy shit, I looked at the 'audible' link list to your left and realized that there was no Crystal Castles link present at all, despite them having invented some of the baddest sounds allowed to exist. Granted, some of their tracks are like listening to knives have sex, others are simply too good to not let the invisible crowd outside your car know how good a DJ you are for playing Crystal Castles on your drive to work.





Crystal Castles hails from my home turf, Toronto, Ontario, and is another notch on T.O.'s Belt of Electronic Dominance in Canada. They could almost be considered veterans of the electro touring scene, and I am pumped to see 2000+ people thrash their inebriated bodies around to their sound-waves at Sasquatch! in May. I'll be able to brag about how my city is better than the nice-to-meet-yous' there, whilst pointing to the stage in a drunken rage. Mmmmm, sweet sweet superiority.
