The band responsible for one of the most impressive debut albums of this still young millennium (Up the Bracket), have decided to put aside their petty differences for the noble pursuit of making more money.
A disturbingly close Pete Doherty and Carl Barat parted ways in 2004, as a result of the routinely drug addled frontman’s many failed efforts to sober up in rehab.
From the ashes arose Babyshambles and the Barat led Dirty Pretty Things, who proved to be mere shells of their former selves, as each band struggled to gain notoriety outside of England.
Now after years of speculation and calculated plodding on the part of Barat, Britain’s Daily Star is reporting that the star-crossed musicians have negotiated a new management deal and will begin touring as early as next year.
If I were you I’d get my tickets early, since it’s only a matter of time before Doherty falls off the wagon again.
