The Crooks:
The Crooks are a Coventry-based band, formed in late 2005.
The Crooks quickly established themselves by playing to live audiences in London, Birmingham, York, Leicester and Coventry. The band’s prestigious support slots to date include The Music, Robots In Disguise, The View, Northside, The Others, Bez (Happy Mondays) and Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets). They have also headlined numerous successful shows around the Midlands, including 2 sell out shows at Bar Academy Birmingham.
In January 2008 The Crooks released a five track EP, What Chance Sobriety?, featuring live favourites Whiskey, Panda Eyes and Squeal.
To really appreciate The Crooks’ sound, their live show is the full-on experience. It’s an energetic, raw, dirty and aggressive set that grabs your attention, pummels your ears and gets your adrenalin going at full throttle.
