DANCE FOR YOUR LIFE!
Crystal Castles, Health, & Charlie Slick @ the Magic Stick
Tuesday Feb 26by MCB contributor Jeff Nolan
Arriving fashionably late, I tragically missed my friend Andy's band Charlie Slick. Charlie Slick is a very unique band to see live becausein addition to Charlie's electronic beats and chirping into the mike,Andy dances about operating a light tower, a strobe, a smoke machine,and a bubble machine while throwing glitter and confetti all about. Andy is leaving the band after two or three more shows, so if you areinterested the next to last time to see Charlie Slick as they are is Friday, Feb. 29 @ the Corktown Tavern.
Health is a noise-punk band from LA with a sound reminiscent of theLiars or Le Fly Pan Am. Their songs build off of crazy noises emittedfrom distorted guitars and stomping primal drum beats. To this they addodd timing changes, screaming vocals, and a lot of energy on stage. They played tightly and all members were fairly on point, but it waslacking some thing or element to really bring it all together. I metone of the guitarists and the drummer and while they didn't have much tosay, they were both very friendly.
After the Health set, the entire Magic Stick went dark for a minute orso before some electronic noise started coming through the PA. After itbuilt up for a while Crystal Castles flipped on the strobe lights andlaunched straight into a song you couldn't help but dance to. It wentvery much like this for the rest of the show. Crystal Castle consistsof a keyboardist who plays catchy hooks over a steady drummer and a girlrunning around the stage and into the crowd who occasionally providessome vocals. I've never seen the bouncers at the Magic Stick pull theband members away from the audience before, its usually the other wayaround. The entire dance floor was sweaty and moving with peopledancing more enthusiastically than the band, also usually the other wayaround.
Overall it was a great show, made better by all the fun people there, amillion random friends I bumped into, and on top of it the bartendergave my lady friend and I free drinks.
Awesome.
