Following appearances at Falls Festival and Southbound, fans of Crystal Fighters will have one other chance to catch the London alt-dance band at The Hi-Fi in Sydney this Thursday 9th January.
Travelling with an eclectic mix of members from Great Britain and Basque Country, Crystal Fighters return to our fair shores with a fresh repertoire of music including songs from their latest release, Cave Rave featuring Triple J spun tracks “You and I” and “Wave”.
The album came together in just a few months when the band retreated to the Basque hills that they consider to be their spiritual home. Their music has always born traces of the local sound – traditional instruments like txalapartas and txistus vying in the mix with razor’s edge guitars and percolating techno synths. Using the Basque culture as a stepping stone backward to the spiritual and primal, this album draws deeper into universal, history-permeating themes of love, death, insanity and hope.
It’s already been a huge year of touring for Crystal Fighters, with appearances at some of the biggest festivals in the world, from Bestival to Reading and Pukkelpop and countless sold out headline shows in coveted venues such as Webster Hall in New York and one coming up in Brixton Academy in London, but nothing as special as their pilgrimage to Basque country, to host their own Cave Rave in Zugarramurdi, a small town just outside of San Sebastian in Northern Spain. This incredible event brought fans in from all over the world, watch this to find out what all the fuss was about.
We might not be hosting the band in such unique countryside venues in Australia, but there is no doubt that these shows are not to be missed. Summer is here and what better way to celebrate than with one of the most fun and energetic live shows you’ll see this festival season.
