irving plaza, april 15(?), 2010.

"i went to crystal castles gig at irving plaza 2 nights ago. i hadn't seen them over a year, so it was very nice to see them. it was first time to see their gig from v.i.p balcony. they played some new songs. they were really great! then we went to some party at hudson hotel because cc supposed to dj. it was really bad party with horrible cheesy disco music but when ethan started to play good music alice and i and some drug queen (he looked funny) danced so much and it was very fun. then we went to their hotel room and drink. but at this point i was way too drunk and had to run outside of the hotel to puke, so i just had to go home :p in the cab, i puked from window and the cab driver told me to pay $25 and wash his car, but i told him i didn't puke. i was just happy to see them so got too drunk.they were in town only that day and had to fly to london next day.i hope they can have time to shopping with me next time

la riviera, madrid, november 2, 2010.

!the text below is translated from spanish using a translator!

what we experienced that tuesday in november on the madrid riviera will probably be remembered for a long time. the cold that was on the edge of the manzanares turned into an intense heat that had alice glass as its particular sun. and the fact is that it was rather something very dark, i don't remember seeing anything but shadows. but that was more than enough. in a kind of electro punk orgy, or whatever you want to call it, the people in the front rows were struggling to survive between elbowing, pushing and falling to the ground. musically he did not give more than yes, but the show put on by the canadians is undoubtedly one of the most bestial live shows we can see these days, or that was what it seemed to us when we saw the bruises on our body.

setlist: fainting spells, baptism, doe deer, courtship dating, crimewave, air war, alice practice, black panther, celestica, reckless, untrust us, empathy (with "i am made of chalk" intro)

encore: intimate, yes no.
