There’s actually like, other Crimea fans in the world! Without further ado, here’s the first ever fan made Crimea video. I’d like to think it’s the first of many.

Starring Glen Moyers, directed by Alan Gillhespy.

These look new, though frankly even if I had seen them before I wouldn’t remember. First one is from Wembley where they were supporting Snow Patrol, second from Belfast last summer.

…it’s Christmas. Which means 2 things: 1. Ya’ll need presents. 2. Owen won’t get mad at this post for at least.. ooh.. a day?

Sorry, Christmas is over for another year. Come back later for more Crimea moviefilms :o)

Trust me, if this song doesn’t sound bloody great, it’s for purely technical reasons…

For the guy from C&C drums from Canada or whever it was… Gimme a day to wake up and I’ll put a link here link below, for what it’s worth. All my photos are cunts. They prolly got white paint on them too…

Meanwhile, here’s something else… and like the dickhead I am I assumed as taking photos sideways works perfectly fine, videoing the stuff sideways would work too. Fuckit…

C&C MAN!!! rack it up… they’re shit. but whatever… Owen / drum pics. If you need bigger / better quality versions, god forbid, then email me. Maybe i’ll stick the rest of the gig pics up later… or maybe i’ll stick up more vids up instead ;o)

Finally you can all get a piece of the Crimea’s best double figure visual performance. No, they’ve not given up the day job to become strippers; Adria Petty has uploaded her 10 minute long Tragedy Rocks EPK to YouTube. Check it out below…

They’re also still on tour with Snow Patrol. I would ask for pics on the SP website but if they’re anything like the Ash crowd they’ll chew me up and spit me out. Nah really I’m just trying make myself look like I bother anymore…

The two of us, heckles raised,
Eyes locked dead to the greasy world.
Neither of us overjoyed to be out of love,

Filmed at T In The Park and Cardiff Festival Big Weekend, 2006.

I presume, much like myself, you’re all sat at home wondering “where the hell are the crimea?”. Well, they’re locked up in their own self-made studio working hard on what they hope will be songs for their second album. I on the other hand am locked up inside myself trying to keep sane with my new favourite song, Oliver Twisted. If it ain’t on the next album I ain’t buying it.
Ok, ok, you want your Crimea fix too. Well Contact Music are at hand to provide a video interview with frontman Davey just after they played the V Festival.
If you still want more, you can re-read this old interview with the lads on the Suicide Girls website. Oldie but a goodie. I do hope he’s taking the piss. Anyways, you can then pleasure yourself with the rest of the site, so to speak…

Thank the lord for YouTube. Now we can watch LWOA a thousand times too :oD :o\
Five more for the road. LWOA at V, LWOA at V (possibly the same performance), WRG (possibly at V), Everywhere at V (outdoors this time) and LWOA, again outdoors beside the War Child stall at V Festival 2006, Chelmsford.
Have some fun, try get all three LWOA’s playing in sync…

Well, now Grandpa YouTube has left us, something needs to fill in his most-subscribed-of-all-time void. Yep, Crimea vids incoming!

In order of appearance, LWOA at the Waterfront Studios, Davey in a crowd singing Jealous Guy, Davey in a crowd singing i-ain’t-got-a-fuck-answers-on-a-postcard-please Jealous Guy. Go figure. Cheers to whoever stuck em there.

One one one.

New songs! It’s like, rare in crimea land eh? Loop-a-loops a bit dodgy like, but hopefully the other two are better, lord knows they’ve got a few decent new ones around, finally you get to here some :o). ‘Course, you could just go to a gig already (it’s the 14th already?!?) Otherwise, hit America’s favourite website for the loop-a-tunes.

And some guy said he might posibly send me live recordings thanks to some other guy who asked him and some guy who told me about the guy asking the guy sending… I’ve gotta figure out who all you new guys are… Rest asured, if I get anything, I’ll make available what I can.

Other new things: intereviews. (That’s like, interview *and* reviews. I’m sad.) This one has what looks suspiciously like Davey artwork though. I say that cos it’s a bit crap. Davey style. Oh, warning for Denyer though, don’t read it. Girl Just Died dissage. Not pretty.

Oh bloody hell. Just listening to “Who’s Laughing Now”. They’ve stopped quoting the cro..err.. mmm… And they’re quoting everyone else now. Julz: monkey see monkey do. GAF: Who’s the daddy now? That one was to cheer you up after the GJD insults, mr denyer.

Um, yeah, anyway… reviews… Newcastle Uni one from Flotation Suite. Oh, look, my favourite guitarist…

And some guy on the board, Iain (i hope that’s celtic otherwise I’m pissed again), points you and the rest of me towards a official forum and photo blog have more activity for once.

You’ve probably seen it already but I’m posting this interview with Owen Hopkin on S4C’s Bandit show as some kind fella on YouTube has actually translated the thing over from Welsh into English. It basically goes along the lines of: “I was on my way home from London today, there was a review [of the album] in Q [magazine] in the service station, it was like 4 out of 5. Most people like the stuff off the album - people from the internet, people from the magazines - so yeah, the attention is nice, but odd really because we were in a band, The Crocketts, where basically everybody hated us, so it’s just… it just feels nice”. Cheers James.

In other news, it’s that time of year again where I spend six hours infront of the telebox, recording BBC Three in the minute hope that the camera settles on one of The Crimea members for a few seconds. You may do better if you actually have tickets to T In The Park this weekend.

The Crimea @ Bestival last year —>

More to come though unfortunately most of it’s old Crocketts vids, but there’s some old Crimea stuff too. Check out the user page for pepsimax2k on YouTube for the latest, I’m uploading them pretty much as soon as I’ve got them on my PC and encoded properly. There’s most of the Crocketts stuff there already, though I’ll be adding them to Vimeo when it lets me and you can download the proper quality versions from there. I’ll mention on inaudible.co.uk/crocketts when they’re done.

Getting even more off topic; heads up for Lecia and ex-Crimea guitarist Julz Parker who’ll both be playing live on www.rawaudio.net on July 2nd and 9th respectively. I’m reliably informed the UK time will be 11am, but the sessions stay online for a week after just incase.

“As long as I give him a bone every now and then he’s happy.“

Find out whom the above was said by/about in this classic Crimea interview.

“What will you do immediately after completing this interview?
Hang myself.“

Geez. Rope burn’s terrible. Howsabout listening to The Crimea’s gig in Cardiff a few days ago? For £6 it’s yours. They’ve stuck a video up on YouTube too. Actually…

If that works I’ll shit myself. (Edit: blimey. hit play, i guess… :o| ) I’m off back to google some more stuff up. While you’re waiting, get over to The Big Swap site and offer better than a holiday to Florida for thier signed Fender guitar thingy.
