Mon 10 Mar – Crystal Castles, Health, The Muslims, Skull Kontrol DJ Mario O
I [we] got to the Casbah in the midst of The Muslims Set. Lots of people crowded the floor for their set, and having never seen them live- I have to admit that their performance was good. Catchy- get ya dancin.
I caught Fantastic Magic in the atari Lounge and they are always Magical. Sundar rocked the Harmonium / murdunga / finger cymbals and some double reeded instrument similar to an oboe. I was hoping to Purchase a t shirt or a Cassette tape of the with choir- but no paraphanalia was available (that I saw)
Crystal Castles Canceled their performance and were SUPPOSED to play a DJ set instead- I was hoping to dance to the sounds of their Remix of crimewave by HEALTH...
who BTW worked it out! of the 4 members- 3 got on the Floor tom and beat out some Heavy rythems which define their sound. [the drummer obviously has his own floor tom in his kit but 2 others switched off on a separate drum] I talked to the guitar player (?) and he said that usually they all (4) will get on the drum- thats RAD.
1st time Ive seen them. Amazing set. If u havent seen them or hear of them- DO check them out- and TURN IT UP
ALL in ALL, great music, with great company- adds up to what i consider REAL FUN
