CRYSTAL STILTS
ZACHARY CALE
$12 Adv/$14 DOS Backstage / Doors at 8:30
No, they don't blast terrorizing 8-bit electro-clash beats while screaming -- that'd be Crystal Castles. And their drummer doesn't go by the nom de plume "Sexual Chocolate" -- that's Crystal Antlers. Instead, Brooklyn's Crystal Stilts marry the garage-rock aesthetic with the gloriously gloomy moan of Joy Division's Ian Curtis in a sound both lo-fi obsessives and file-sharing fetishists can and will appreciate. The group's latest - In Love With Oblivion - is out on Slumberland. Check it, and the show, out.
