We’re still recovering from the Crytsal Castles mania - and apparently MTV is too!
Check out the review of the show!
Laws of economics (stay with me here) state that scarcity creates value, and Crystal Castles’ anonymity as the anti-rockstars only made me desperately want to know everything about them. You’ll be hard-pressed to find clear photos of either member, they shoot down any suggestions of fame, and they always understate their own popularity.
But on the other hand, they did add another Roxy show two nights later due to overwhelming demand, and they are also the newest group to enter the ring up against the big record labels. You can find a full quality, fully tagged and fully free mp3 of “Crimewave” for download on Nine Inch Nails’ Web site. After my encounter with Crystal Castles, it’s clear that they’re a shining example of a band that is truly in it for the music. Expect much more from Crystal Castles in the upcoming months, because whether they like it or not, they’re going to be huge.
Over the last couple weeks we have been spoiled by Dim Mak and Company. A MSTRKRFT video shoot with with Nore, LA Riots, Felix Cartal, Lazaro Casanova and Steve Aoki. Couple days later Aoki Played The Elements of Life Benefit. Then Crystal Castles came in and basically took over the club. Every email, comment and phone call we received over the last week was about them. So many that we were forced to add a Friday Midnight performance. Both shows were completely sold out. We can’t wait to have them back. It felt as we are starting to witness a change in the music scene and we love it. Check out some of the vids and pics the captured the fun over the last month.
Thanks to the guys at Club Soda Media, Darren Kim and Erik Voake for the pics.

For all of you who called us crying and begging for tickets…your dignity has been restored. A SECOND Crystal Castles show has been added at MIDNIGHT on Friday 6/13 - brought to you by our friends at HARD and DIM MAK! It’s going to be amazing… obviously. So try not to be so slow, and get your tickets FAST. For now, tickets will only be available thru the Roxy box office, so call us soon and join the party. You can reach us at 310 278 9457! See you then!
Thanks to all you came out last night to be a part of the FREE MSTKRFT show and video shoot. As always, they killed it! Whenever The Roxy looks like THIS …you know its a great one.
MSTRKRFT is back tomorrow - shooting a hot new video and putting on a special show! MSTRKRFT always brings the hot party, so make sure you come down and join us. Doors are at 10pm, so come down early to make sure you get it!
Check them out at on of their past Roxy performances!
We were just as bummed as you all were when the original Crystal Castles show was postponed - but we can’t be happier to have them here June 11th. They have DJ’d their way into our hearts and we know this show is going to be amazing. Obviously you know that too, as the show is sold out. And a reminder, if you held on to your original tickets from March - we can’t wait to see you! Those tickets will be carried over, no problemo.
Fresh on the heals of another amazing Dim Mak party (with DJ AM/ Steve Aoki/A-Trak) we are excited to be able to look forward to another rad party! So mark on your calendar (or use the ever trusty iCal) for March 9th - when we have hot new artists Crystal Castles and Health. Dim Mak really knows how to bring out the cool kids and cutting edge DJ talent (Crystal Castles debut album hit March 18). Tickets are available thru our box office and thru ticketmaster. See you there!
If we could have magically been two places at once on NYE we definitely would have been downtown checking out MSTRKRFT - no doubt, spinning the hottest tracks on the planet. So, we couldnt be more excited to start off ‘08 with another Dim Mak/
BPM party featuring none other than MSTRKRFT….but it doesnt stop there….also spinning will be, ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD, AOKI & MORE. This, as always will be an RSVP event…which will undoubtedly fill up super fast. Check out a clip of the last MSTRKRFT performance…complete with laser show. What else would you expect?
