Named after She-Ra's fortress in the cartoon He-Man, the band's riotous live shows quickly attracted attention with Glass becoming a completely fearless, unhinged frontwoman - screaming, stage-diving and clambering on top of speaker stacks. When Kath later saw Glass playing in her gothic punk band Fetus Fatale, he asked her to add vocals to electro recordings he'd made on a homemade synth, using part of an old Atari sound chip, and so Crystal Castles was born. Allegedly, founding member Alice Glass ran away from home at the age of 14 and was living in Toronto squats before meeting Ethan Kath, a guitarist playing in Stooges and GG Allin covers bands. Launching a brutal sonic assault on the eardrums, Toronto duo Crystal Castles mix the euphoria of rave with the ferocious snarl of punk to create storms of thundering electro noise. ![]() ![]() Get Crystal Castles tickets now to see an amazing performance live by a great entertainer.
