The glitched up electro outbursts of Crystal Castles are about to be hunting down your ears, as news of tour dates in the US and Europe has been revealed. After the release of their magnificent self-titled debut in 2008, Crystal Castles have been stirring whispers into hearsay, and hearsay into legend regarding their rather tumultuously presented live shows where bruises, stage dives and an all-round audience freak out tend to make a consistent appearance.

The tour will see the chaotic twosome, backed up by live drummer Christopher Robin, visit New York and LA in the US, followed by a handful of shows in Europe and the UK.

Let's hope Mr Robin isn't too fond of his kit as it will almost certainly be getting destroyed somewhere between LA and London. Although, perhaps Alice Glass is pursuing some different anger release techniques. What is safe is the fact that there will be plenty of participants to share the destruction with, no matter what form it arrives in.

Tickets will be available on February 19th and it is confirmed that Pictureplane will start off ceremonies at the Irving Plaza show in New York on Wednesday, April 14th.
