The New Cranes
In the heady days of the early Nineties, it was hard to find a band with a better live reputation than The Newcranes. Energetic and inspiring, their intoxicating mix of Slavonic-tinged thrash-folk-punk thrilled audiences across Europe and fans still speak of incendiary shows and no-compromise recordings. Tasting chart success as label mates with The Levellers, supporting Bob Dylan, tours with Saw Doctors, Stiff Little Fingers and The Mission. Headlining Camden Palace with Skunk Anansie supporting them and then… silence. For years, the legend has grown, the stories have spread, and the clamour for a comeback has grown. Finally, after 25 years, a new chapter has begun.

It's lovely to see our page likes steadily increasing. Welcome to our friends old and new!
I've been waiting for a Newcranes comeback for so very long. I think I nearly wore out my original EP.
The Nottingham Post has published a list of all the headliners at ROCK CITY between 1980 and 2015. It looks like we had some kind of residency there in 1993. Were any of you at the gigs? What do you remember? Hopefully we'll get to do it again sometime soon and test the new dancefloor! www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/music-nightlife/rock-city-definitive-list-every-2428261

Well, every headliner from 1980-2015 that is...
Saw Newcranes at Rock City many times, they never disappointed!
I was probably at all your Rock City ones. Seem to recall a couple of all nighters appearances, which were great fun!
Remember driving the band there for a sound check in my mk3 yellow ford escort. Think it was Boxing Day?
Was there for the February gig with a guy called Elf from Nottingham, blagged our way in to the sound check and ended up hanging around for most of the afternoon. Didn't make the December one as I'd moved to Bradford by then. But it was the first of many times I saw Newcranes. Last time was the Deptford Festival with BTTP, RDF, Senser
Derby, Midlands etc. this is going to be so much fun - grab a ticket and come along! 1ST MARCH... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekQspQCnmck&fbclid=IwAR3Uao0WFoYvyQYj502GO2hx_pWlGjYq92pDM1SD4aUPqVlfmt2abhFYuKs
