Rock on, gamers. While we at Buzz Bands LA HQ won’t pretend to be conversant in Borderlands, we do like our Crystal Method, especially when Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland team up with U.K. indie-funk band the Heavy. “Play for Real,” featuring singer Kelvin Swaby and guitarist Dan Taylor from the Heavy (and some other familiar name like trumpeter Stewart Cole), is stashed on the iTunes deluxe edition of the Crystal Method’s 2009 album “Divided by Night.” Killer track, and killer animation from Jordan “Kootra” Mathewson. In a manner of speaking.

||| Live: The Crystal Method performs Sunday at the IDentity Festival, an electronic music event that will happen in and around the Palladium.  Also performing: Booka Shade, Hercules and Love Affair, Pretty Lights, Steve Aoki, Pete Tong, Etienne De Crecy, Doorly, Jason Bentley, Nervo, Le Castle Vania, White Shadow, Marshall Barnes, Chad Hugo,  Data Romance, the Eye, Jessie and the Toy Boys and LA Riots.
