The Cribs Tour in North America For First Time With Johnny Marr

9:21 p.m. · November 16, 2009 · by Chris Bosman

The Cribs, who until being joined by Johnny Marr were an all-brother trio, will begin their first North American trio with the former Smiths guitarist this coming January, in support of their fourth record Ignore the Ignorant, which Marr helped to write. Tour Dates are below.

The brothers Jarman, plus Marr, also have a new video out for their second single, "Share the Same Skies." The video is obviously green-screened in a fairly amusing way, with the group performing in front of grainy, fast-moving footage, sometimes in forests and occasionally in the middle of the sky. The jangly, insatiable track bounces on an ingratiating vocal melody that counterpoint the angular guitar attack.
