Biography

Formed in New York in 2003 by Brad Hargett and J.B. Townshend, the Crystal Stilts were a multi-influenced indie rock band that released its first work -- some singles and an EP -- in 2004 on the Feathery Tongue label. The first single, "Shattered Shine," was followed by a series of local shows, and after an EP -- all eventually collected in one place on the self-titled full-length 2008 release -- added Kyle Forrester on keyboards (for live gigs, anyway) and Andy Adler to take on bass duties. Finally, the group added a drummer -- Frankie Rose, formerly of the Vivian Girls-- shortly thereafter. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
