Check out photos from Saturday’s surprise show by The Crystal Method.

Ken and Scott perform Divided by Night, Keep Hope Alive, Busy Child and Falling Hard live in KCRW’s studios.

“Falling Hard” (34:00/41:06) also features live vocals and guitar by Meiko, Sam Maloney on drums and Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses) on piano. IMHO, this is a milestone song for the band and and deserves as much exposure as it can get.

You can now watch the “Falling Hard” performance by itself here:

This YouTube post features both the original, and Kaskade remix of “Come Back Clean,” the new video and single from The Crystal Method.

Tommie sent me this link to his new remix of Drown in the Now via Twitter and thought I would share it with you here. Very different for Tommie, but great work none the less. Follow Tommie Sunshine on Twitter or check out his MySpace page and let him know what you think.
