Crystal Castles
If,
they had cancelled all dates I wouldn't have minded.
But all of them BUT London.....
Twats!
Saying that I've never listened to them so....
I'm sure they're lovely.
Didn't they realise
they would eb "recording" when they booked the tour? Also, all but London is a bit of a kick in the teeth for any fans anywhere else.
lets hope
that they are breaking up.
Pair of shitlegs
I fucking hate them. People who listen to them are pricks too.
Damn
They're still playing Bestival by the looks of it.
oh no
will this ruin your entire festival experience then I take it?
i was mailed by Brizzle
to say that one was cancelled yesterday.
Arse.
Will anyone still care come September?
Their 15 minutes is dragging somewhat.
Possibly
I might be sent into a murderous frenzy if I accidentally hear their music from one of the stages.
Seriously though, I really persevered with these guys as a lot of friends think they're great, but I just don't get it.
"Due to recording commitments"
What, copyuing other people's songs?
Keeping the London show just highlights the kind of fan they attract...Nathan Barley anyone?
i love crystal castles
does this mean their dublin gig on october 1st is off too?
lulz
london's the best obviously :]
What a pair of cunts.
Seriously, why anyone would follow these is boyond me. They cancel pretty much every gig they're meant to play. Thieving twats.
Really fucking
enjoyed them at Latitude.
That is all x
i enjoy crystal castles
couldn't care less if they're dirty thieves.
^
idiot
I read that
as Crystal Casseroles!
Hahah, poor ticket sales alert!
I don't know why bands make such painfully obvious excuses, it's pathetic. Yeah, I can just imagine the label or whatever saying "ahh sorry, you'll have to cancel your entire 11 date UK tour cause we want you to record some b sides".
they are
very very poor and over-rated.
this just confirms they're cunts as well.
They've probably just realised
they can make more money shoplifting, selling the goods on for coke, cutting the coke with baby powder (also stolen) and dealing it to kids.
It also gives them a chance to kick back and have someone unknowingly write their next album for them.
Probably. That's all just guesswork.
Goood
sh**
nathan barley!
wow! you so original!!!111 please let me such you off
I sense
the expiration of whatever goodwill they may have had left.
Turns out that Manchester
(and Birmingham?) have actually been brought forward and not cancelled after all.
I fucking love them as well.
Crystal
Castles fucking suck.
Suicide-wannabe wankers.
NO WAY
How am I supposed to have an emotinal moment with my best friend while Crystal Castles are playing now?!
