Alice Glass

she was born in 1988, gosh! she's younger than me! she stated that at the age of 14 she changed her name and age and ran away from home to live in a community of punks and drug addicts. one of my favorite vocalist. Her name is Alice Glass (Crystal Castle).

She claimed this move was "due to an early existential crisis. I wanted to live primitively with no money and no shelter." A week after she turned 15, she was approached by Ethan Kath who had seen her play in her noise girlband, Fetus Fatale at Toronto's now defunct Q Bar. Kath was impressed by her performance,

claiming at the time he thought he had found the "missing ingredient" to his music.

Kath later gave her a CD with 60 instrumental tracks of which she recorded vocals for five. When they went to a recording studio to record those 5 songs, the mic check was secretly recorded by the engineer, who later presented the band with a CD with 6 tracks. This 6th extra track went on to become the band's first single, Alice Practice
