 Carl Barât - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Ashley Raphael Barât (born June 6, 1978) is the frontman and lead guitarist in the band Dirty Pretty Things.
The Libertines were subsequently formed with bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell (who were both in the band as a 9-5 job), with Barât and Doherty sharing songwriter and singing duties,an example of this can be heard on almost all of their songs.
Barât himself disbanded The Libertines in December 2004, citing his lack of desire to continue the band without ex-partner Doherty and an "ongoing problem with [his] health." In 2005, Barât underwent surgery to remove a tumour behind his ear and spent several weeks recovering from the operation.

In a white-walled studio in north-east London, Barat and his new band, Dirty Pretty Things, are playing at rock stars - all fl jeans, shades and tiny rock'n'roll bottoms.
And then our band fell apart and we thought, 'If we can't get by doing that, then let's give them a bit of the anger we've really fucking got.'" So the changing cast of the Libertines (Johnny Borrell of Razorlight is a one-time member) changed again.
He had great expectations of meeting a thousand young Werthers, fellow students who felt every thing from the heart, who cherished every emotion and were ready to die for their beliefs.

To the generation that followed in their wake, the flamboyant failure of the band was an inspiration to all.
There were these gritty glam bands that were much more street and raunchy than what was coming out of the UK - bands like the New York Dolls and the Harlots of 42nd Street.
We'd just started the Undertones and I was reading about what was happening in New York and how the bands were influenced by these obscure bands such as the New York Dolls, Iggy and the Stooges and the MC5, all of whom had broken up a couple of years earlier.

Posted by: at June 20, 2006 04:23 PM Uh, another reason to see DPT, aside from the fact that their album is pretty damn good, is that they regularly incorporate Libertines songs in their live sets.
Posted by: at June 20, 2006 04:33 PM i'm pretty sure that's what everyone was reading about until the band broke up two years ago - clearly they're not writing about a band that broke up two years ago you fuckin' hipster trend-twat.

While Babyshambles (Pete doherty's new band) is well, quite frankly...Shambles to be honest, and make no effort to even appeal to their fans by never turning up to half of their gigs- I had high hopes for this newer band- which in reality is a little naive now that you may think of it.
There are so many crap british "indie" rock bands out there nowadays, who think they can sell records just so long as an electric guitar and a bass is somewhere present in their songs.
Not to say that Dirty pretty things fall into this genre, but the thing is, as a libertines fan i KNOW they could do SO much better than this!
