Crystal Castles August 2, 2008

The Toronto-based duo, Crystal Castles, will be opening for Nine Inch Nails on August 2, 2008 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Crystal Castles, according to a review Rolling Stone, are an “amalgamation of Klaxons' nu-rave dance, the Velvet Underground's more cacophonous moments and the 8-bit aesthetics of famed Nintendo composers Yoshihiro Sakaguchi and Koji Kondo.” The review goes on to state, “The band was shocked when they discovered how quickly their music (literally) moved people. “One of our first shows, the venue said 'We've been hosting shows for years, but no one really dances at our shows,' "multi-instrumentalist Ethan Fawn says, "but people like dancing to Crystal Castles.” They released their own self-titled debut in March after a series of EPs and are ready to rock Minneapolis.
