Soft and Music

They must keep the stage at New York City’s Webster Hall awfully clean, as both Metric’s Emily Haines and Crystal Castles’ Alice found occasion to roll around on it when the pair’s joint tour hit the Big Apple this past weekend. Either that or these two just don’t mind getting down and dirty in the interest of an ass-kicking rock show.

Indeed, both acts are out kicking ass on a trek across the U.S. that continues tonight in Chicago. Take it from Crystal Castles though: using a keyboard box to supplement your keyboard stand is both thrifty and cool.

Dates, photos, and the answers to all of life’s questions lie below.
