A quick note to say that the issue of Kerrang! magazine with a live review of The Crimea in is released tomorrow. Go and buy it.

Lots going on in the past week.
Two more gigs coming up, one’s tonight, the other on the 23rd at Camden Barfly.
The latest e-mail from the band has an expected release date for the new single. See the post below.
Owen’s girlfriend sent me an official Crimea logo and the new single cover, both of which she designed. Look on the main page for them.
Acording to Popex, The Crimea are on the SBN Playlist. Something to do with them getting played on the radio.
And… I think that’s all. Bye bye.

Today’s the closing date for the competition. Only about 6 entries so far.
Nim sent me her pics of the Rummers gig, so I put them up. I wrote a little review too. It’s crap. And on the reviews page.
There’s two more gigs coming up. The first is this Sunday, 13th October at The Windmill in Brixton. The second is on Wednesday 23rd October at Camden Barfly.

Aberystwyth. What a town. There’s a review and pictures up of the Rummers gig, and it was bloody great.
A couple of guy’s were wondering whether I really loved the Crox or just had a lot of time on my hands to make this site. Well I really just have a lot of time on my hands, but I still really like the crocks.
Joe’s drawn a picture of me so I’ll put it up soon, with a nice one I have of him.
Finally, barely anyone’s entered the competition. Surely the answer’s not that hard. Look at the Who Are The Crimea? page.

The Crimea are popping up all over the place in the press, including this weeks Kerrang! magazine and on the PlayLouder site here http://www.playlouder.com/feature/1049itc3 (something to do with the ITC event). And you may just have time to see em play in the Witchwood tonight. But you’ll have to be quick. So what are ya waiting for, run run run to The Witchwood. Quick. Quicker… or you’ll miss them. Well, there’s always Aberysytwyth tomorrow night.

Elodie’s photos of the Monarch gig have been added.
Can someone enlighten me as to why three of the Klutzville mp3s have been downloaded about 70 times each, and yet Opposite Ends has been downloaded 370 times? I know it’s the best song but cumon… I’m gonna have to take it down if it gets any worse.

The Crimea have a tiny little mention on the Radio 1 site. *yey* They’re in the news page of the Welsh Alternative session page, mentioned in the ‘In The City’ bit and in the ‘News in brief’ section. If you can’t be bothered to go to the link below, this is what it says:
The Crimea are Davey Crockett and Owen Hopkin, formerly in the Crocketts, and they play one of their first gigs at Barfly Cardiff on 7 September.
Also mentioned are The Keys, better known as Murry The Hump.
To see what all the (minor) fuss is about, click this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/wales/news/.

There’s a competition up for signed versions of the two 1939 Returning CDs. There can only be one winner, and you’ve got till October 8th to give yourself a chance of being that person. Details of the comp can be found by clicking the [More] link.

If anyone’s near Manchester tonight, tune into 106.2FM to hear ITC radio. I’m not sure, but they may play clips of the unsigned bands playing, in which case The Crimea may turn up on your radio. And if they do, make sure you record it onto tape. Or you could just go to the gig. It’s free. Yey. Goodnight.

I’ve put up something about the Monarch gig on the review page, so far there’s no picture with it.
Someone asked me to put up Davey’s TGBR song meanings from crocketts.net for them, so as it’s the one thing I actually have from the site, they’re in the info section.
And I’ve been trying to redisign the main page as it’s getting a bit cramped. I didn’t succeed. So if anyone wants to do it for me, feel free. Remember it has the menu bar at the side.

Photos from the Cardiff Barfly gig are up, thanks to Elodie.
If anyone sees themselves in a photo and wants their face blanked, just email me about it.
For anyone who hasn’t heard, Davey’s given up drinking because he doesn’t like forgetting stuff. The side affect is that there’s no more jumping around.
Davey keeps changing the names of songs, even the band can’t keep up with the latest titles. Dunno what the hell I’m gonna do, maybe just make a list of aliases, and make up my own names.
I need a disguise, if anyone has a spare bunny costume, I may stand out less.
Anyone notice what Joe had written on his left knuckles at The Monarch gig?
And.. uh… I hate loads of people looking at what I’m writing. Fuck off. All of you. Ha. Bye bye.

The photos I took at The Monarch last night are up on the photos page. Others should be coming next week. Would anyone like to take over a Crimea fan site?

Turns out lots of people were trying to find me last night, if just to see how much of a looser I am. In which case they shouldn’t have been too dissapointed. That’ll teach you not to go searching for random web people. But would whoever it was that told everyone who I was please not do it again. It’s starting to get like going to school. Not something I wanna be doing too much.

So much to do, so little time….
Went to see The Crimea last night, so I’ll write something about it as soon as I can. Also got a few pictures, they’re better than the last ones I took at The Enterprise. Other people are sending some too. Thankyou. And if anyone wants to send a proper review, e-mail me about it.
There’s also photos of the Cardiff gig coming v. soon, and someone’s offerd to send photos of a load of other gigs.
Oh, and there’s a little cometition coming up in about a week.
Bye bye.
