RE: HEALTH

In case you were still wondering where HEALTH is playing tonight, it’s at Chop Suey, it’s $10 $7, and it’s all-ages. Crystal Castles was scheduled to headline but had to cancel due to injury. Still playing is post-Blood Brothers post-punk outfit Past Lives and Tacoma DJ David Wolf. Here’s what I said about it before Crystal Castles Cancelled:

Last time they came through town, opening for Metric, Toronto duo Crystal Castles were great but totally out of place. Playing to a half-empty Showbox crowd mostly there for Emily Haines’s whip-smart indie rock, Crystal Castles’ strobing, eight-bit electro-punk fell largely on deaf ears and stiff asses. This time, presented at Chop Suey by underage dance night Club Pop, producer Ethan Kath’s broken Casio beats, mangled video-game synths, and Alice Glass’s smeared-eyeliner goth wailing should absolutely kill. Sharing the bill is L.A.’s HEALTH, with whom Crystal Castles have a mutual hit in the song “Crimewave”—maybe they’ll treat us to a collaborative rendition of it tonight. Opening is Seattle’s Past Lives, the post–Blood Brothers dub/punk experiment of Jordan Blilie, Devin Welch, Morgan Henderson, and Mark Gajadhar. Warming things up will be up-and-coming Tacoma-based DJ David Wolf, who’s already stacked up an impressive array of remixes including Crystal Castles, Liars, and Of Montreal.

That new HEALTH album is really good, but didn't they just play Club Pop?
