2008–2009: Crystal CastlesĬrystal Castles performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2009Ĭrystal Castles toured heavily and performed at numerous festivals around the world to support the album, including Ireland's Oxegen Festival, the All Points West Music & Arts Festival in New Jersey, Coachella Valley and Music Festival in Indio, California, the Heineken Open'er Festival in Poland, and the Reading and Leeds Festivals in England. In February 2008, Kath said his aim was to ".make the most annoying sounds ever scream over and then we'll try to open for Melt Banana". Several limited-edition 7-inch vinyl singles followed in 20 on various independent labels, including two on London's Trouble Records.
After miming the song on the British television series Skins, demand for the Alice Practice EP grew rapidly. The pair picked their stage names together, with the name "Crystal Castles" pulled from a line in the cartoon She-Ra: Princess of Power: "The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles." Īlice Practice became the band's first limited vinyl release in 2006. Īfter being posted online, this track garnered attention and the duo decided to re-form for a formal release. The sessions resulted in the track " Alice Practice", which was shelved for six months. A couple of years later, Kath asked Glass to record vocals over tracks he had been working on since 2003.
Kath had already found a small bit of fame in Toronto's music scene, having made appearances on local television with his previous band, Kill Cheerleader. Crystal Castles has since been on hiatus, having provided no updates on new material or performances after Glass's allegations.Įthan Kath (born Claudio Palmieri) met Alice Glass (born Margaret Osborn) in Toronto, Ontario, when she was in the 10th grade and he was 10 years her senior. Three years later, during the middle of the band's tour to support their fourth album, Amnesty (I), Glass accused Kath of sexual misconduct during her time in Crystal Castles, causing the remaining tour dates to be cancelled.
Glass announced her departure from the band in October 2014, citing personal and professional reasons. They released many limited vinyl singles between 20 before releasing four studio albums between 20. Crystal Castles were known for their chaotic live shows and lo-fi melancholic homemade productions.
