The Cribs

[nickoo]

I met Ryan Jarman from The Cribs on saturday. Kate Nash's side-project band 'The Receders' played before my band at one of our gigs, and ryan happened to be there. I was chatting to him for ages about many subjects but i did mention festivals and Glastonbury. He said he believes his people are in talks with Glasto's people.. Thought id let you know. great guy, great band

[smytho15]

would hope so top band

[rexclark]

I'd definately like to see them play, excellent live band.

[thelizardking]

Havn't really got into them, probably massively mistaken but I see them as a poor Libertines rip.

[pehaw]

Would love to see them there. Possibly the best live act around at the moment.

[mandypants]

Haven't seen them yet so yeah, they're on my list.

[tim26]

Great band would love to see them there, have seen them 7 times now and have only let me down once.......at Glasto '08 (I think) headlining the John Peel on Fri night, a real lacklustre performance with no atmosphere at all.....

[Davness]

They're definitely playing, I interviewed Johnny Marr for a University assignment and he said "I'm very proud to have played there, and I'm very proud to be playing there again this summer with the Cribs"

Incidentally, were you able to keep a straight face while talking to him? I wouldn't be able, his tones are hilarious!

If by "around" you mean West Yorkshire then fine.

[coma girl]

I've gone off them a bit since Marr got involved but I wouldn't mind seeing them live again

[disasterplan]

Really? I loved it! Seen the Cribs about 3 or 4 times now as well, and the Glasto 08 set is up there with my favourites tbh...

[CiderFiend]

So you're saying it was in your top 3 or 4?

[Wooderson]

I least I can say I have shared a beer and chats with a famous band !

Did Bono and The Edge ever offer to play your house ?

[disasterplan]

It warms my heart to think that when the Cribs played in Perth, they played the Rosemount Hotel... where my old band used to play occasionally - so I have played the same stage as Mr Johnny Marr!

[ivan]

Nah. But theyre U2 Ivan. The Cribs' new record with Marr was supposed to be the biz. They spent a tonne of cash recording it in the States and its turned out to be pish.

Now if Covers has offered to play chez Ivan then color me impressed. The Jarman brothers not so much.

[Bradders]

I really like the new album, definitely an improvement on the previous one. Not quite up to the standards of the first two but not far off.

If they play, I'll be there. Getting close to the 30th anniversary gig now

[ivan]

Gonna have to disagree with that! The lads have far more original influences than your typical Libertines influenced indie band. They'll sight the likes of Edwyn Collins, riot grrrl bands and obscure post-punk acts. They've also been making music since before anyone had particularly heard of the Libertines as well.

I've seen them 10 times and Glasto 08 was my least favourite as well. However, this mainly because some of the crowd seemed a little disinterested and the sound in the John Peel tent was rubbish.

But yeah. great band

[rachbon]

i love the cribs but not sure if i'd see them at glastonbury cause i've already seen them five times.

[smiley4999]

does Marr still play with them nowadays?
