Cryptacize is an awesome band. Their name suggests a mix between Jazzercize and the Crypt Keeper. I'm not sure what they sound like, so I'm not going to make anything up. I am also not attempting to write their wikipedia entry, but I would like to explain where they come from. If I get anything wrong you can bitch about it in the comments.
Chris Cohen and Nedelle Torrisi were in the Curtains together before Cryptacize. Before that, Chris was a member of Deerhoof. Nedelle is a solo artist and has an awesome new record on Tangram 7s called "The Locksmith Cometh." Before her most recent album, she put out an awesome one called "From the Lion's Mouth" on Kill Rock Stars. Nedelle and Chris, as their MySpace explains, met Michael Carreira by way of YouTube. They watched the video below of Michael playing the cowbell, and after they all met in-person, they decided to start Cryptacize. Charming isn't it?
Cryptacize is playing Thursday at Edinburgh Castle. They will be surrounded by over one hundred balloons. Come out to see them.
