"yo,

first off, thanks so much to everyone who came out to my solo shows this past month! i had a blast and i hope you guys did, too…

those of you who came early to the DCFC /Franz Ferdinand dates last spring got to see a fantastic band from Wakefield, England called the Cribs. over the course of those six weeks, the brothers Cribs drove over 10,000 miles and a van accross the US and Canada killing it every night. plus, they always seemed to have smiles on their faces when they got to the next gig no matter how long the drive or how much whiskey was consumed the previous night. even in my younger years, i never could have withstood what they weathered. :)

we’ve been friends ever since and it pleases me to no end to tell you that their new album, ‘men’s needs, women’s needs, whatever’ FUCKING SLAYS !!! pick it up and support the hardest working band from the hardest working class town in the UK.
