Friday night, British indie trio The Cribs were playing at Birmingham Academy when singer Ryan Jarman decided it would be a good idea to crowd surf the mosh pit. Bad move.
The overly enthusiastic crowd tossed him around like a rag doll. Security guards, not recognizing him and thinking he was just a fan as he was passed around, kept Jarman from returning to the stage. According to NME.com, he was finally hauled from the crowd unconscious by a security guard, with most of his clothes ripped off him by fans. He regained consciousness after being shaken by another security guard. Jarman was unconscious for around 20 seconds in total. Shirtless and wearing the remains of his jeans, Jarman completed his band's set by playing two acoustic songs before being assessed by paramedics.
The following day, bassist Gary Jarman was hospitalized after complaining of pains in his arms. Jarman was taken to a nearby hospital where the was diagnosed with blood poisoning. It is thought he got the poisoning from cutting himself accidentally on his bass strings during a recent gig.
The band will continue with its tour.
So, in honor of The Cribs' determination to carry on, despite some pretty stupid stunts, here is Baby Don't Sweat from their 2003 self titled album.
