Toronto-based electro (or "blog house, if youre a tool) duo Crystal Castles pin Nintendo-laced dance beats into shimmering anthems for modern club kids. Theyre also known for a hard-partying lifestyle and attracting controversy from copyright issues with their album art.
So what crazy antics caused them to cancel and reschedule a recent bevy of shows planned in the UK? Are they hung over? Was it a cocaine bust? Were they arrested for fraud? Um, no. It was just recording commitments.
Major controversy or not, the rescheduling has allowed for a stint of North American dates that include Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver this October. The duo will also be releasing their HEALTH collab "Crimewave as a single on September 22.
