Biography

Edit

The Cribs are an English 4-piece indie rock band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The band consist of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross Jarman. Recently they have been joined by ex-The Smiths and Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr who has been made a formal member of the group since 2008. The band, who first became active on the concert circuit in 2002, were initially tied to other like-minded UK bands of that time, most notably The Libertines, by a British music press that were looking for a 'British rearguard' to the wave of popular US indie rock bands of the time. In 2008, Q magazine described the band as "The biggest cult band in the UK".

Icelandic Volcano Gets In Coachella's Way

Apr, 17 2010

This weekend's Coachella festival has been disrupted by the eruption of a volcano 7,000 kilometers away. The Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland has been spewing out a giant plume of ash since it erupted earlier this week, preventing flights from leaving the U.K. or much of northern Europe. A no-fly zone has been declared over a large area because the ash can interfere with an aircraft's engines. That's meant indie-rock band The Cribs have had to cancel their appearance at the Californian festival, because they simply can't get there in time. Gary Numan has also canceled, as has New Order-offshoot Bad Lieutenant. Meanwhile other artists are sitting in airports hoping they may still make it to the stage in time. Welsh indie band Los Campesinos! are still hopeful, as are Scottish rockers Frightened Rabbit. "Last time I was grounded it was 'cos I made a sicky mess on the floor," Rabbits singer Scott Hutchison tweeted. "This time it's 'cos a mountain made a sicky mess in the sky."
