Thursday, May 26
"The Crimea have been described as drawing inspiration from Dusty Springfield, Leonard Cohen, The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and The Pixies. Only having really listened to two of the artists/groups on that list, I'd say that the Flaming Lips and Pixies comparisons are warranted in the best sense possible. The Crimea write about life and its joys and tribulations in a homely but oddball manner, and aren't afraid to lend an enthusiastically raw guitar edge to proceedings."
Interview Q: What was the most unusual gig that The Crimea have already played?I really like this band, but I missed them at SXSW. They do a good song called "lottery winners on acid" which I'll send you if you like.
A: It was probably South by South West, there was about 10 people there, we were in pieces, and I fell on my arse. It was unusually shit. We used to play a lot of house parties in our East London days.
