Crystal Radio are set to perform tripped out shit at Alan McGee's Death Disco on Wednesday the 3rd of December at Notting Hill Arts Club.
Raphael just returned to London after stealing bottles of water backstage at The Strokes shows in Seattle and New York. Regina Spektor was the opening act and the whole show was magical, brilliant.
Check this- While in Seattle, Gordon invited The Strokes to the woodlands of Bear Creek Studios to record a new song When Dogs Get Get Embarrassed featuring a dual vocal of Julian and Regina. Its absoutely sensational and may be released on Shoplifter Records of all things! There was a gorgeous vision of Julian and Regina singing the track outside!! near hundreds of very tall trees, with their old vintage microphones and a big dog named Ella(vator) lying between them on the grass- what an amazing scene. There was a bonfire at night and a serene sense of clarity in the days between their Hollywood and New York shows.
Thanks to those of you who have supported our work by buying Room On Fire, and even more smiles to the many who have recognized the evolution of sound, songwriting, vocals and musicianship on that record. Under Control - need I say more? That one song has enough emotion and power to move the stars across the sky!
