From his GS page:
Johnny has just had a busy week, he flew in from Portland on Sunday 17 August, met up with The Cribs and on Monday 18th they played a Steve Lamacq Radio 1 show session. Then Tuesday 19th they played Kings College London, Friday 22nd Leeds Festival and Sunday24th Reading Festival headlining the NME / Radio 1 Stage.
After the Reading show Johnny was quoted as saying "That was a lot of fun. It's been nice playing in the UK again and The Cribs songs really work well as a four piece. The band and fans are very happy and it bodes well for the new record we're writing"
You can see the Reading set at the BBC website at The BBC Website
Johnny has also refuted some reports on the net that he has quit Modest Mouse. "That's just silly journalism as usual" he says; "no one asks Alex Turner if his work with The Last Shadow Puppets means that he's quit Arctic Monkey's, but I seem to get it all the time. I've just completed playing and writing on a new Modest Mouse eight song record which is out soon".
