The Cribs Confirm USA Tour For March 2008

BURBANK, CA. (Top40 Charts/ By Rick Gershon/ Warner Bros. Records Publicity) - Having just completed a string of riotous shows with the newly reunited Sex Pistols, modern punk trio THE CRIBS have reconfigured their recently postponed American tour now set to kick off in Mexico City on March 8, 2008. The tour will also include a stop at this year's annual SXSW Music/Film Conference/Festival in Austin, Texas before coming to an end in Los Angeles in early April. This will be the band's biggest US tour to date and will immediately follow their largest UK headlining tour to date as well. The NME Awards tour is scheduled to begin in late January to coincide with the release of yet another new single, "I'm A Realist," from the album, "MEN'S NEEDS, WOMEN'S NEEDS, WHATEVER."

THE CRIBS have been busy writing lots of new material and have already began recording new songs with producer and ex-Suede guitarist, Bernard Butler, with whom the band has worked on earlier recordings.
The band expects to release a new UK EP in early 2008, so it's safe to the say the American tour will feature lots of surprises in the set for their US fans.
