Release Notes:
After the Libertines broke up in fall 2004,
singer/songwriter and guitarist Carl Barat began
work on his next musical project. Signing to the
U.K. label Vertigo almost immediately after the
band dissolved, Barat worked on songs on his own
and eventually recruited his former bandmate Gary
Powell as the drummer for his new group. He also
brought in Anthony Rossomando -- who had been Pete
Doherty's replacement in the Libertines when
Doherty was arrested in summer 2004 -- as second
guitarist. Bassist Didz Hammond left the Cooper
Temple Clause to join Barat's project, which was
christened Dirty Pretty Things after Barat's club
night (which was later renamed Bright Young
Things).
By fall 2005, Dirty Pretty Things' lineup was
complete, and the band played its first gigs in
Paris, France (where the Libertines also played
their farewell show) and in Italy, crafting a sound
that felt like a leaner, tighter version of the
Libertines' freewheeling mod-punk. The band entered
the studio that winter, collaborating with Dave
Sardy in Los Angeles and with Tony Doogan in
Glasgow. Dirty Pretty Things came on strong in
spring 2006, releasing their first track, "You
Fucking Love It," as a free CD packaged with NME
magazine and appearing at the South by Southwest
festival. Their first official single, Bang Bang
You're Dead, arrived a couple of weeks ahead of
their debut album, Waterloo to Anywhere, which
reached number three on the U.K. album charts.
Dirty Pretty Things kept up their prodigious
touring schedule throughout that summer and
released their album in the U.S. in August 2006.
