I hope they do better then the 10 minute set they played at SXSW.

i'd cut them a little slack, given they were supposedly deathly ill thru sxsw & had to cancel most of their shows there. but lets hope all together.

Health was the worst band to perform at SXSW. Wow they were bad.

You are retarded... HEALTH are amazing, and when they played here recently (London,ON) totally blew Crystal Castles' (still awesome) set out of the water.

Posted by Mark B. | March 25, 2008 2:22 PM

HEALTH destroy. Simple as that. 2:08 has some serious music taste deficiency.

I thought HEALTH was one of the best acts I saw at SXSW.

Do yourself a favor and make it to one of these shows. I saw them sunday night in baltimore and i went into the show exhausted, but they (health and crystal castles) totally blew me away. After health were done, me and my buddy thought there was no way crystal castles could top it...we were dead wrong.

sick. fucking. show.

Posted by alex | March 26, 2008 11:22 AM

Studio B was packed to the gills last night. Health played a short set with a lot of prancing about and a reasonably well handled amp swap. Crystal Castles took too long to get on stage, but they were fucking bumping. Biggest cliche, still true: Alice is a million bucks on stage. Mesmerizing.

Left after Alice Practice, though, 'cause we had to work.

Posted by Allen | March 26, 2008 12:48 PM

Just saw them in Manchester, UK.

Theyre fucking sick, definately gonna go again
