Alice Glass is a real trooper. One can no longer write her off as just the drunken frontwoman of electronic noisemakers, Crystal Castles, who has a penchant for physically assaulting her fans and crowd surfing like it's still 1994.
In January, Alice jacked up her ankle while in Tokyo for a gig at the Liquid Room. The details on how the injury came about are still unknown but I am sure a few too many sake bombs and a mishap while dancing on top of the drum set were involved.
On February 3rd, Crystal Castles were supposed to headline the kickoff of the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour. Instead of whining about her injury like a pop diva whom the Chelsea twinks jizz their Hollister panties over, bitch grabbed one of Jimmy Valmer's crutches, got up on stage, and tore that shit up.
According to NME, Alice still managed to hop around onstage like a coked-out demonic ferret during certain points of their set.
I currently have the pleasure of looking forward to seeing Crystal Castles at both New York City's Terminal 5 and Toronto's Sound Academy. I can only hope I am fortunate enough to see use her crutch as a weapon against some obnoxious underage poser in skinny jeans who reeks of ditch weed. Given that Alice is a bit fiesty during shows, she might as well take the opportunity to use her newfound accessory to its utmost potential.
