The Cribs have announced that they will be taking their 2007 album Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever on tour to celebrate its 10th anniversary in May.
“Once upon a time, the idea of embarking on a tour focusing on a specific period of the past would’ve been met with a resounding ‘Hell no!’,” said the band. “Even after 15 years of the ups and downs involved with being in a punk rock band, we still like to think, as most artists do, that we are moving forward and hopefully retain the same enthusiasm and motivations that we had when starting out as kids in our teens and early 20’s [sic]. BUT, having said that – when this opportunity was offered to us it just seemed like too much fun to pass up.
You don't wanna miss this, it'll never happen again! “@thecribs: MEN'S NEEDS, WOMEN'S NEEDS, FOREVER. MAY 2017. pic.twitter.com/cBcJWsxH0m”

“So we threw it out to the people that know us best – you guys, ‘the fans’ if you will, and the response was really inspiring – not to mention humbling. SO we decided, why not? Let’s go for it.”
