The Crimea Support Billy Corgan On US Tour
by Staff | 00.00.0000

The Crimea, one of the UK's most intriguing and inspired young bands, is set to bring their dynamic jangly pop tunes across the Atlantic with Tragedy Rocks, their long-awaited debut album on Warner Bros. Records, set for release this September. The Crimea will also play a select series of US dates supporting Smashing Pumpkins founder Billy Corgan on his first-ever solo tour.

The Crimea was founded by charismatic front man and published poet Davey Macmanus (vocals, guitar) in 2003.
"I knew how I wanted to do things, and didn't stop until I'd done it," says Macmanus. Signed to Warner Bros. Records, the group also recorded and released the 5-track Lottery Winners On Acid EP in late 2004. The Crimea subsequently embarked on a warm-up tour of the US with Ash & The Bravery in anticipation of their major label debut album.
