Dirty Pretty Things

This band was an example of how one, as a rockstar should make a come back album... The Libertines dismembered around late 04, Pete kept on going with the Babyshambles and nobody knew much about how Carlos was going, some heard rumors of his new band, some said he was done, Pete had already started playing shows and came up with an album with the Shambles, which put pressure on the press over Barat. Then we hear he suddenly was back, with a new band called Dirty Pretty Things and this album From Waterloo to Anywhere, that took everybody by surprise.

So Carl was indeed doing his thing, and we could recognize he followed his roots and his style. Great reviews, great shows, great work, while Pete was trying to handle the Shambles, drug addiction, upset fans, debts and a Kate Moss on cocaine, Carl won a place on the radio and iPods all over the world.

Dirty Pretty Things decided to split off around late 08, which was weird and sad, but gave fans a hope thinking Carl would rejoin Pete Dohertys guitar around late 09, when Petes done with his new Solo project.

With two clean cut albums, Dirty Pretty Things was a band of live shows, i think it was probably the band that ive seen live in most occasions, and none of the times i was laid down. Carls a great equality english sailor, a handsome gentleman, talented, with sense of humor and style.

I love the next track, its very... Pirateish!
