The Crimea feature on a double page article in this months issue of The Fly Magazine. Title “The Tragic Numbers” it talks about the origins and future of the band in an interview with Davey MacManus whilst on tour in America. The mag also features a couple of full page adverts for the band, so get down you local Barfly venue and pick up a free copy. ‘Course, you could always check out the press clippings page instead, where, thanks to Roger Hoyle who scanned em in, you can see the article without even leaving your seat.
I mentioned yesterday about possibly hearing Frank Skinner mention The Crimea on his show during an interview with McFly. At the time I thought I was just hearing things, but oohhh no. With huge thanks to Uma and Sophie over at the McFly McFans website, I bring to you a video of the very incident where Frank Skinner is heard to say (on prime time television I might add): “There was a band on with [Dashboard Confessional] called The Crimea, who are brilliant, and I went [for] The Crimea… and I watched [them] and left”. Get in there.
And here’s some screengrabs of the BT Digital Music Awards 2005 performance. Which somehow I managed to fuck the recording of right up. So if anyone did see it, was there any more of the band shown other than the performance?
Nearly forgot about this; The Crimea are on Kerrang Radio tonight giving an interview on the Ctrl ALT Del show. Listen online right here between 9.00pm and 11.00pm. Or don’t, cos you knows I’m recording the thing and’ll have ripped MP3s up in no time :oP.
