Hey Scenesters!
The Cribs are playing a one-off “2005 era” show
Taking place at London’s Oval Space, they’ll be harking back to the days of ‘The New Fellas’.

Attention The Cribs fans and 2005 nostalgia-trippers alike. The band have announced plans to play a intimate (ooer) one-off gig in London, with a setlist firmly centred on old skool Cribs material. The show takes place on 1st September at Hackney’s Oval Space. Tickets go on sale here at 6pm sharp, at 15 quid a pop.
Back in 2005, when most of us were still busy embarrassing ourselves on Myspace, The Cribs released their DIY Hall of Fame approved album ‘The New Fellas’. Read our interview with the band’s Gary, Ross and Ryan - looking back ten years to that record - here.
In the meantime, get in the spirit, and whack on The Cribs’ ‘Mirror Kisses’ below.
