air war

fuuuuuuuck yes. my personal favorites, Crystal Castles @ the metro, saturday nite.

the warnings for epileptics were no joke, lead singer alice screamed her way into a strobe-lit fit as she carried a pulsing globe-strobe around on stage with her, thick eyeliner ricocheting off the whites of her eyes. indeterminable lyrics, gameboy bleeps, thrashing sonic video game blasts, the metro was converted into a freaky-deaky supermario episode where overalls and worker hats were replaced with hoodies, torn tights and converse, gold coins replaced with smash laser strobe light effects. 

a delightful surprise was the opener, Lymbyc System, a post-rock electronic outfit that's a just-right-Goldilocks cross between Panda Bear, some of the lighter Fridge tracks and some of the less ambient, more layered Last Days. Some free Lymbyc downloads here
