Biography
Kath was born to Italian parents in Toronto, Ontario on December 25, 1977. Prior to Crystal Castles, Kath played different instruments in many bands. At age 14, he played drums in Jakarta, an anarchist-hardcore band. Later, he was the bassist in a sleaze metal band called Kïll Cheerleadër. He was also in a two-piece folk band.
Crystal Castles were known for the elusiveness of their off-stage lives and identities. Kath was routinely photographed wearing hoodies which obscure some or all of his face and has gone by a number of different aliases over the years.
