Crystal Method Hit Vegas + LAZRtag Remix

Thanks to the awesome crew at Filter Magazine , I was able to kick off my Memorial Day weekend with a strong dose of Crystal Method . Once arriving at the House of Blues at 11:59 for a late night show, you could tell that this was THE place in Vegas to be. The headliners didn’t hit the stage until around 2am, so anybody with a bed time had no business being there! Once the duo finally hit the stage adorned with 2 circular displays cycling through wicked images and epilepsy hating visuals, the immense wall of electronic sound almost knocked everybody right on their keysters.
