Been listening to The xx and been appreciating more and more. But down a guitarist and continuing as a trio….how minimalist sounding can they get? Thinking about checking out the Friendly Fires / The xx show myself although I’m wondering how chatty the crowd will be during The xx’s set, unless the crowd actually clams up for once.

I’ve been a scrappy fan of the scrappy Cribs for a while, and having seen them twice in the last few years (the Lee’s show was by far the better of the two), would have to say their scrappy quotient is considerably higher in a live setting. I’m excited to see them with Marr added to the lineup as he’ll bring a whole different aesthetic to their borderline punk (albeit charming) presentation. And yeah, because he’s Johnny Marr. (Although judging by their turn on Letterman last night, Marr is making every effort to be a Jarman. It’s uncanny.)

Note to Cat: Two words — Fake ID. Life’s too short for the LCBO.

Too funny about you losing your handle on all those current Brit bands. Geez, and I was hoping you would be the guiding light for me. Good luck with it though.

Unfortunately, it’s bad news.
Thanks for the wake up call though.
I guess I have to wait to be legal for another ten months.
I thought it would be too good to be true to see them.
Have fun though!

cat – the phoenix CAN be all-ages, but I don’t know if this show will be. the official press release will probably be along in the next week or two, that info will be there.

stalevar – guess they’re counting on the Marr factor to boost interest. And it certainly worked for me.

I saw the Cribs playing at El Mocambo in spring 2007 and the club was half full. How will they fill in the Phoenix in January?

Hey Chromewaves. Thanks for this post. It made my day to hear that The Cribs are coming. Do you by chance know if it is a 19+ show or an all ages one? Barely any info is posted on the web. Thanks.
