The Crystal Method BIO:
L.A.'s Crystal Method have been referred to as America's answer to the
Chemical Brothers. A dance-based electronic duo with a definite rock
band feel, the comparison would seem appropriate, although it tends to
erase what makes the group distinct: a solid base in American hip-hop,
rock, soul, and pop. Formed in 1993 by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland,
Crystal Method is the most recent stop in a string of projects that led
them from their native Las Vegas (and some forgettable four-track stabs
at vocal house music), to the early-'90s L.A. rave scene. Drawn in by
its youthful idealism, Jordan and Kirkland became absorbed by L.A.'s
underground club culture and began knocking out tracks inspired by
their experiences. On the strength of one of their demos, Crystal
Method signed to Steve Melrose and Justin King's City of Angels imprint
in 1994, and their debut single, "Keep Hope Alive," appeared soon
after. The title was in reference to L.A.'s waning rave scene (burdened
by constant police pressure and a string of random violent incidents)
and became something of an anthem due to the endless barrage of remixes
and alternate versions that appeared. The pair's demand to be taken
seriously as a band (as opposed to the enforced anonymity of most
techno acts, and something of a new concept for American dance
producers) extended to incessant live performances, and Crystal
Method's increasing popularity both in the clubs and among radio jocks
led to a deal with Geffen affiliate Outpost Recordings in 1996. The
group's debut LP, Vegas -- an unabashed party record bathed in acid,
funk, rock, and big beat hip-hop -- appeared in mid-1997 and sold very
well. The follow-up Tweekend was released four years later, and the duo
inaugurated a series of mix albums (Community Service) in 2002. Third
album Legion of Boom followed in 2004. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide |
