We’ve been gaga for all things Libertines for a long time now. To the point of being apologists for that degenerate druggy, Pete Doherty. So, it’s with mixed feelings that we approach the news that ex-Libertine Carl Barat’s band, Dirty Pretty Things, is no more. Their debut album was solid (if not mind blowing or as reckless as the Libs) and live they killed. The rumor will surely ramp up now putting Pete and Carl back together again, but for now let’s bid a fond farewell to DPT. Godspeed, boys!

Thats a surprise! I thought they had something new coming out?? So does anyone here think the Libertines will get back together...?
Awww!...I saw them live in '06, and they were fantastic. This is sad, of course, but they will be moving on to new, glorious projects for sure!
