Chicago’s Lazer Crystal combine swirling synth chords with slick drum wizardry and deadpan vocals to create the perfect cross between dance jams and intricate rock. Their live shows live up to their name, with moody lighting and lazer projections. Check them out on video before catching them live in London with Trans Am.
