hi. on the train. firmly entrenched in the festival season at the minute. what a picturesque start to proceedings it's been too. primavera on the beach (see exclusive topless pics below!) in barcelona with sonics and devo and malkmo, then up to loch ness followed by a 666 mile drive across scotland and england to cornwall. the drive of the beast. well shippo anyway. have to say a special thanks to the crowd at cornwall for making our first headline festival so great. loved it. middlesboro and coventry i salute thee also. Isle Of Wight was a bit of alright (wink). i wasn't attacked, just called an indie kid which is pretty much the same thing these days. i wrote a song with john boy during a week at his house called victim of mass production. but that was ages ago. i love it. more when he gets back. i hate thieves. i mean, who will remember Buttercup? ry x

So our myspace got hacked the other day, i don't know exactly what this means, but all i know is that the outcome means we lost all the music / pictures and over half our friends. I have been informed though that we didn't get any pink oboes etc posted from us, so that's good news... We haven't really used our myspace much, but I realise it is handy to keep people up to date with what we are up to...
EG - I'm currently planting vegetables back in Yorkshire - there you go, interesting.
Anyways, from now on we are going to keep a closer eye on this sort of thing and take control of our myspace ourselves, as we have tended to neglect this sort of stuff in the past.
Basically, expect more new stuff from the band in future, starting with this:
Here is a video of us performing "Be Safe" for the very first time with Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), recorded live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York on our last US tour! This is also now live on our myspace page!
If you know anyone who may have been a friend on the myspace, please could you forward this message on, to let them know its now back up and running again, and it would be good to have them back!
See you at the festivals

Hi, The Cribs Myspace was hacked, though it has now been cured but with consequence.
A major problem has occurred in the process. Whilst the myspace was hacked into; thousands of friends were lost, leaving less than half remaining.
As posting a bulletin from The Cribs myspace only posts to existing friends, this will not help, BUT there is something you can do to help.............
To help The Cribs retrieve their friends, and let people know to re add, please post this bulletin to all your friends.
