The Cribs have notched up a few career milestones in their time.
A resolutely English, deeply independent success story, the band have taken their music across the globe. Yet, curiously, they've never once played the Roundhouse.
The Cribs are set to chalk this off their bucket list in the Autumn, as part of a quickfire series of UK shows. Catch the band at Glasgow's Barrowlands venue on October 20th and London's Roundhouse venue on October 28th.
Gary Jarman says:
"It's a huge personal thrill for the band to be playing at the Roundhouse. Growing up we were huge Ramones fans, and I first remember hearing of this venue in articles and books about the Ramones playing their first UK show there, and what a seminal event that was. We also later tracked down a bootleg of them playing live at the Roundhouse. Never would those 14 year old Cribs sitting in their bedroom in Wakefield have ever believed that one day we would grace this hallowed hall, and that feeling is not lost on us! And the Barras is just the best damn gig in the world! Period!"
The Cribs have confirmed the following shows:
October
20 Glasgow Barrowlands
28 London The Roundhouse
