All you have to do to be famous in the indie/electronica music scene is cut your hair into a short bob, dye it black, and sell your soul to Karen O. Just ask Crystal Castles front woman Alice Glass who's terrifying yet adorable voice led the dance party at FunFunFun Fest on Sunday evening. Though Glass' image is quite duplicate of that of many other indie female singers, the Crystal Castles member has a certain charisma to her that stops me from hating the band entirely. Not to mention, the 21 year old Canadian has a pulled together style, and quite the large stage presence for such a tiny woman.
While the Crystal Castles set at FFF Fest was short, the dancing seemed to last an eternity in the crowd. Their classic single, Crimewave, really set the crowd off into a dancing oblivion. It's difficult to determine what makes CC different from, say, any other electronica/dance band, but at least they can excite their fans in a live performance. Isn't that all that matters anyways? When you've got a crowd full of screaming fans, praising your screaming rather than singing voice, I guess so.
