LateRooms.com - See Crystal Castles Perform in Bournemouth

    BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND, September 12, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Guests of Bournemouth hotels will have an opportunity to see electronic duo Crystal Castles play live next month.

The Canadian band are set perform at the south coast resort's O2 Academy on Tuesday October 12th, having released their second album to much acclaim in May this year.

Formed in Toronto six years ago, Crystal Castles is comprised of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass.

The pair's self-titled debut album sparked excitement among fans when it appeared in 2008, spawning singles such as Crimewave, Air War and Courtship Dating.

It was ranked at number 39 in a list of the top 100 greatest albums of the decade by NME, although the group attracted some criticism for allegedly using samples without copyright permission in some of their songs.

Despite this controversy, their second long-player, which is also self-titled, has been equally well received by critics.

Featuring the single Celestica, the record was described by US music website Pitchfork as "a more focused, propulsive and satisfying follow-up".

Tickets for the band's Bournemouth gig, which will also include sets from Health and Team Ghost as support acts, are currently priced at GBP13.50. Doors will open at 19:00 BST.
