The Crystal Method was formerly an American electronic music duo formed in Las Vegas, Nevada by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland in the early 1990s. Like The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy and others, they were pioneers of the big beat genre. The Crystal Method's music has appeared in numerous TV shows, films, video games, and advertisements. Their debut studio album Vegas was certified platinum in 2007, and saw follow-ups Tweekend, Legion of Boom, Divided by Night, and The Crystal Method. In 2017, Ken Jordan retired from music and left the group, with Scott Kirkland adopting The Crystal Method as a solo moniker.
Nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for Breakthrough Video for "Name
Of The Game" [2002].
Before production began on Legion of Boom in 2004, they moved the
studio into the garage of the rent house; many people aren't aware of
this, however, and still believe they work in the actual "bomb
shelter", now a nickname for the studio setup.
Formed in 1993, they did most of their earlier production work in an
underground shelter lovingly referred to as "The Bomb Shelter" in the
front yard of a rent house they once shared as roommates.
The Crystal Method is an electronic music duo consisting of Ken Jordan
and Scott Kirkland.
Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album for
"Legion of Boom" [2004].
