The Cribs Announce Full American Tour Details For January 2010

New York (Top40 Charts/ Warner Bros. Records) - Wakefield + Manchester + Portland = melodic punk rock quartet THE CRIBS who celebrate the release of their brand new, critically-embraced Warner Bros. Records album IGNORE THE IGNORANT, with news of a coast-to-coast American tour beginning January, 2010. Following their recently completed blitz upon Los Angeles and New York which included their second barnstorming performance on The Late Show with David Letterman, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVdp5hKSAKo ) THE CRIBS return, stronger, louder and more forceful than ever:

'The Cribs are following a forked path to a great catharsis.' � Rolling Stone

'Another pile of consistently great pop songs.' � Alternative Press

'Mostly brilliant�.they are able to paint outside the lines with the added shadings, nodding to Sonic Youth and The Smiths.' - Spin

'One of the UK's best bands are about to find themselves in an even brighter spotlight.' � Nylon

'They are a down-to-Earth, no bullshit kind of group... Likewise, the crowd didn't seem to pay Marr's presence any mind - as they were too busy going mental. I'm a Cribs fan, but I do think this was the best I've seen them since they made the leap from smaller-sized clubs.' � BrooklynVegan.Com

At present, THE CRIBS are on a brief stadium tour of Europe with old friends Franz Ferdinand (you'll recall Franz' Alex Kapranos produced THE CRIBS' last album, MEN'S NEEDS, WOMEN'S NEEDS, WHATEVER), followed by an arena headline tour of the UK before heading back to the USA for more chaotic fan frenzy which has become the trademark atmosphere of their live shows around the world. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more engaged audience/band bond from anyone else touring today. Do yourself a favor � don't miss THE CRIBS live in 2010. Confirmed dates as follows:
