The Cribs @ The Varsity 3/26/08

The Cribs are incredible. I really enjoyed their "sound check party" where they took requests from a few fans and played some tracks from their first album. Their were unfortunately less than 200 people at the show, but the Jarman bros tore it up and even played a Replacements cover.   Next time they better have an encore!  I also forgot to ask Ryan(the lead guitarist) who's opening for Kate Nash on her American tour since the two have been dating. Damn. Anyways, The Cribs will be writing this summer and hopefully will have their forth album coming sometime early in 2009.  Their drummer Ross said, "we already have 4 songs recorded with Johnny Marr, were just looking to find time to record more."  I smell a full length album with new member Johnny Marr!  Screw Modest Mouse, The Cribs are better.

The Cribs will be the best show of the year?

3 Crazy brothers from Wakefield England will be returning for the second time in Minneapolis this wed. mar. 26th @ The Varsity. The first time they were here at the Turf Club in St. Paul, the 35W bridge collapsed. I don't think another bridge will collapse the day of the show but I do know the Jarman brothers will take over the Varsity and start a riot! Get ready for the Cribs Minneapolis!!!!!!!!!
