Now that the Starbait tour has been canceled, the Crystal Method are setting their sites on a continent a little closer to home -- North America.|

The techno duo land in America on Feb. 6 in San Diego at Montage. From there, they will hit venues across the country through mid-March, including stops in Austin, Montreal, Salt Lake City and Chicago.

The tour will no doubt feature the hot, breakbeat mayhem and strobe-heavy shows that have helped define the group since the debut of their 1997 Geffen/Outpost album, Vegas. (Ari Bendersky)
