Something unusual is about to happen to Hamilton, Ontario, and it may be heading your way. Noises will be made. Science will be dropped. And yes, oh yes, there will be dancing. Los Angeles' HEALTH and Toronto's Crystal Castles will meet this evening for the proper start of their fairly massive joint tour of North America, which sees the two acts traveling in tandem for the better part of five weeks.

Along the way, Crystal Castles' self-titled debut will make its way to stores March 18 on Last Gang. Once they say their goodbyes in Toronto, the Castles will rest up for the UK/European tour they're plotting for April (dates TBA), while HEALTH, fresh off their Suicide Squeeze single for "Perfect Skin", will rock their previously-reported dates, and a few new ones since the last time we brought it up.
