support?
Are they support or main act?
I'm not sure if I've even heard a Cribs song but I saw the lead singer on Soccer AM a few weeks back and he made me feel a bit ill.
.
"...return to the UK in February to tour with the Cribs."
I don't understand why this gets a story of its own though?
Does every support band get a story?
i think he's implying
that the cribs aren't worth mentioning.
ahem

Exactly. It tells us Giant Drag are supporting in that story.
Rock n Roll AM
yeah mate i agree with that. he seemed a proper arsehole on soccer am, unless that's what it takes to be "cool" these days.
Giant Drag
(along with Viva K) are getting quite the positvie buzz here in L.A.
Who cares
if he is cool or not, their music is sublimely orgasmic.
giant drag are cool
