Chris Shaw mixed it, Howie Weinbeg mastered it and The Crimea recorded it. Finally Tragedy Rocks, The Crimea’s debut US album, is set for an early summer realease and will feature the uber catchy “White Russian Galaxy”, Peel favourite “Lottery Winners On Acid”, “Baby Boom”, classic “Opposite Ends”, newby “Losing My Hair”, “Here Comes the Suffering” aka Ching, “Bad Vibrations”, “The Great Unknown”, “Howling At the Moon”, fan favourite “Girl Just Died”, “Gazillions of Miniature Violins” and War Child charity download “Someone’s Crying”.
But before they head back to the US for a country wide tour with Ash, they’re playing one last gig in London at the Barfly on March 3rd. Check out the details on the front page of the Barfly London website, or just hit More.

Barfly Presents: The Crimea
Doors - 7.30pm, Tickets - ?5 adv (Buy Tickets)

About to embark on a tour of The US with indie megastars Ash and official “next-big-things” The Bravery? Willing to heroically step in at the last second to deputise for a certain band whose frontman has been taken poorly? It must be The Crimea, who will be bidding a fond farewell for these fair shores for two months, and are set to come back genuine bona fide superstars, so it’s only fitting that they play their last UK gig for a while at the venue with which their members have always had such a close relationship. Ever since some of their number were previously known as The Crocketts, the Barfly has had a special place in its heart for this band, and this gig is the perfect opportunity to see what it is that makes them so special.
