[FyreNail2]

Man, I wish I could get paid to go on stage and sit there looking like and possibly being drugged out of my mind.

[jamie9421]

[nothinglikesurrender]

[nothinglikesurrender]

[TheWristband28]

Ellie fletcher

[pseudoxerox]

Ellie Fletcher looks like Kate Middleton.

[EleanorSK]

@pseudoxerox ha thanks :)

[will9444555]

so weird he sounds so much more spanish when he sings..... why cant i find any interviews with laure or mimi in..... laure is smokin

[Msnotlob]

@will9444555 . Laure isn't in this video. The girl singing is Ellie Fletcher and has been with Crystal Fighters since September 2010, Laure left before then. None of the Band are Spanish. Graham is American and the rest are English except the drummer who is from the Mediterranean area but not Spain.

[will9444555]

@Msnotlob yeah that was kinda a sarcy comment cos he puts on a spanish accent and i find it funny :) and yeaaah.... but laure is hot, ellie is too but still

[MartianManOnTheMoon]

the lead female singer is hot!

[azidewurst2]

Brilliant gig yesterday in Dortmund! Very powerful!

[myguitarrockshim]

I'm gonna see them this friday!

Can't wait!

And watching this makes me more and more excited! 

[guzmangabype]

does somebody knows the Swallow's lyrics??? i can't find it ....

[Gazh64]

Some people need to get a life I don't care if they are from Mars, all I know is that they are on the dance stage at Reading 2011 and I'm gonna be all over that fucking get in.

[TarquinThePeacock]

@Gazh64 same man

[1980manutd]

[HVJFC1]

I couldn't care less where they are from, they are superb

[canarquiting]

LO MAXIMO!!!

[siarblog]

Actually 4 of them grew up in Pakistan.

[kikemo12]

soys ingleses y n me entendeis, pero me encantaaaa!!

[ladymimi101]

Dude, they're so good.

[DeStijl333]

To clarify for everyone, Sebastian and Gilbert are English, Graham is from New York and Laure and Mimi are both from the Basque Country but lived in England. And these guys are ridiculously good live.

[regisit1]

I dont understand who are the official members of this band , where are the 2 other girls??

[orbitalsummer]

@regisit1 Laure & Mimi don't performe live since months. i don't know if they are still part of the band. except for the drummer in the back all guys are bandmembers.

[blocfoals]

Whoever said 'they're spanish', all it takes is to watch one interview with them to see that the person who keeps correcting you is undeniably right.

[richded06]

so much better live, electric!

[pops515]

i see these, so much better livee

[Betteroffdeadx]

i can't realise that i'm going to see them at live next month...

[luna030884]

well I cant post the interview link...just look for one on youtube

[weirdoltd]

I'm pretty sure the one on the floor is part of the band, the one on the left. but she might not be active in this song.

Crazy spanish people xD, they sure know how to make an atmosphere

[luna030884]

@weirdoltd They're Brits, tho.....

[weirdoltd]

@luna030884 They're Spanish actually.

[luna030884]

@weirdoltd Yeah, sure... so all these names sound very Spanish to you, right?

Sebastian Pringle

Gilbert Vierich

Graham Dickson

Mimi

Laure

[luna030884]

@weirdoltd

Yeah, I'm from Spain. Those names are NOT Spanish !!!!

In the song you say they do speak Spanish, but they do it with a BIG English accent,

And here's an INTEVIEW that clearly shows that they're not at all Spaniards....if you think they are after listening to how they speak English, then clearly you have NEVER heard a Spaniard speaking English.....

así que deja de fliparte porque no tienes ni puta idea de lo que estás diciendo!!!

[weirdoltd]

@luna030884 Ooooh Thanks for enlightening me :L

[formerlySMG]

@luna030884 2 british guys, an americain, and spanish girl, all guys with spanish roots i believe

[Vote1Jimmy]

@formerlySMG I thought it was like half british other from spain and they all moved and meet in America maybe? idk lol

[fadedlips]

@formerlySMG

no thats wrong. only one guy has spanish roots. the singer sebstian for example is british.

[fhdfba007]

@luna030884 in their myspace they say they're from spain. they're spanish but the lead singer and the other one went to england and thats why they got that british accent. im not spanish pero si, yo tengo una idea do que estoy diciendo ;)

[luna030884]

@fhdfba007 Yeah, they went one day to England, spent a weekend partying in London, and all of a sudden, they got that accent, sounds plausible ....whatever

[MrPul]

@luna030884 mira nena, no vayas de enterada crystal fighters es una banda inglesa/española, formada en Navarra. Y el nombre lo pusieron cuando una de ellas estaba mirando una opera inconclusa de su abuelo en país vasco.

[JoseMB13]

@luna030884 Sí, en la versión en español de Xtatic Truth se nota que les cuesta trabajo pronunciar las R, las G, y las L (tal como les cuesta a los angloparlantes).

[sunsetsunflower]

im confused about the girls sitting on the floor

[MrCrazyblackass]

@sunsetsunflower I think one of the girls, maybe the one on the left is in the band but i`m not sure.

[nickmonkyleas]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[danzer0]

Hmm... they seem to be very good live... I'm liking what I've been hearing from them! (:
