Alice Glass - front-woman with (c)hiptune duo Crystal Castles - evidently does not know what a stage is. It was a rare occurrence to see her use it, since she spent the vast majority of the band's set tangled with the adoring masses below.
A Crystal Castles show was canceled at 10pm last night at the Granada Theater in Dallas, TX. Now the band and management for the club are in a war of words over the circumstances behind the aborted gig. Brooklyn Vegan reports (HT Matt Morrell) the...

So it comes with great sadness when I say that my All Points West recap has to include a discussion of the weather. Sorry for the delay on this post…it’s taken me more than a week

--- - |- Pesky "recording commitments" have forced Crystal Castles to nix a whole bunch of UK dates that the blippy duo had planned for September. To make up for it, the Castles have thrown several more UK club dates onto their August itinerary since our last report, not quite covering the spread, but certainly earning them some brownie points with the folks who'd otherwise be stuck with the p...
