London-based 4-piece The Crimea are set to play a few U.S. shows for the first time in 2 years. You may remember them from their great debut album, 2005's Tragedy Rocks. The follow-up, Secrets Of The Witching Hour, is a completely free mp3 download! I haven't seen them live since I saw 'em support Keane in Dallas a few years ago, so I'm looking forward to the show @ Tangier.
The Crimea U.S. tour dates: (I believe all the shows are acoustic with just Davey and Joe.)

Saw them live at SXSW about four to five years ago and they blew me away! Was the highlight of that year and I walked away raving to everyone about them. His performance had me in goosebumps... "Someone's Cryin'" was one of the most intense live performances I'd seen.

I'll add that unfortunately I found the Witching Hour to be a major disappointment... I feel like the production leaves much to be desired... I still love that Lottery Winners on Acid EP that came out before Tragedy Rocks alot.
