Dirty Pretty Things

2005, the Libertines split up. Pete Doherty makes the Babyshambles, and the other part of the band form the Dirty Pretty Things. I have to say that I wasn't so convicted of the idea that Dirty Pretty Things was a good band, 'cause the talent of Libertines was clearly of Pete Doherty. Well, I just heard "Bang bang, you're dead". I have to say that they are really good. Carl Barat did well the job of forming another good band. The only thing that I have to say is that sadly (?) they scaringly look too much like the Libertines, the same kind of music, the same kind of song, the same kind of arrangement. I'm happy about that because I really like the Libertines, so having a band that could make the same kind of music at almost the same quality makes me happy. But now that the Libertines are back together and neither Babyshambles nor Dirty Pretty Thing broke up what kind of albums will Dirty Pretty Things be doing? They would be too similar to the songs that Libertines would be doing, that's a problem! They were ok when the Libertines no more existed and so Carl Barat and the others continued ideally the work of their previous band. But now the two coexist and that's impossible, or they spit up or they have to have an evolution to something more original. We will see how this will end.
