Life and Career

Alice Glass was born in 1988 in Toronto, Ontario. Her birth name is rumored to be Margaret Osborne. She was raised Catholic, attending parochial school up until junior high. At the age of fourteen she ran away from home to live in a squat community of punks under the name Vicki Vale (named after the comic book character) and started an all-girl crust-noise band called Fetus Fatale. Though she continued going to school, she dropped out before graduating. Ethan Kath, impressed by Glass's performance with the band, gave her CD-Rs with 60 instrumental tracks of which she chose 5 to write vocals for.

In 2008, before the band's interview with Now Magazine, Glass disappeared and neither Ethan nor the band's manager could contact her. Crystal Castles was infamously shut down at Glastonbury 2008 after Glass climbed a speaker stand just before "Alice Practice" and was swallowed by the crowd during "Yes No".
