Trust me, I do. But putting aside the fact that I'm a musician who has plenty of experience with such things, any moron could see that nobody in the band was anywhere near a microphone when human vocal sounds issued forth from the PA system at CC's show.

But hey, thanks for trying to set me straight.<BR/><BR/>I've seen this kind of thing (bands flying in all manner of pre-recorded tracks onstage, including vocals) many times before, and so have you -- almost everyone is doing it now. Including Crystal Castles. No big surprise.<BR/><BR/>Even if they weren't (and they were), the gig was total bullshit; the band were too drunk and lazy to even fake it, much less try to put on a decent show.<BR/><BR/>*A*andeee*https://www.blogger.com/profile/12650165824833289629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224976.post-76745886402355060652009-01-26T19:36:00.000-08:002009-01-26T19:36:00.000-08:00I looked into the Crystal Castles live vocals, the...I looked into the Crystal Castles live vocals, the bloke in the band does backing vocals on some tracks through a vocoder, that's what you heard.
