Crystal Castles' Late Show Angers Fans

By the time Alice Glass grabbed the mic last night at 11:30 p.m., the sold out crowd at Fluxx Live was beyond anxious to finally hear Crystal Castles’ manic mix of screaming vocals and techno dance beats. One irritated audience member vented on Twitter: “Who's this wack-ass DJ at @FLUXXSD? Enough with the prefab house garbage, I want crystal castles!” In fact, the entire set-up for the show had been fraying nerves all day, with some crew members having to arrive at the club as early as 10 a.m., even though the band wasn’t slated to perform until well after 11 p.m. Even the band’s merchandise for the show didn’t arrive in time, just another addition to the growing list of complaints plaguing the show. One worker wrote, "Sometimes ya gotta roll with the hand you're dealt," but we're wondering, were all the mishaps simply the culmination of a day of bad luck? As the nightclub pointed out last night, “When the clock strikes midnight it’s officially Friday the 13th. dun dun dun.”
