Artist Biography
Dirty Pretty Things is the band fronted by former member of The Libertines, Carl Barât. The formation of the band was announced in September 2005, after The Libertines had split up in 2004 due to a falling out between Barât and Pete Doherty. Barât had done some work with Vertigo Records and had previously revealed that his new project was with the label. Didz Hammond announced he was leaving the Cooper Temple Clause to join the band alongside ex-Libertines drummer Gary Powell and guitarist Anthony Rossomando, who had filled in for Doherty following his departure from the Libertines.
The name was shared by Barât's club nights currently taking place in various venues across London, which now assumes the name "Bright Young Things" to avoid confusion. Dirty Pretty Things played their first shows in October 2005 in Italy and Paris, France.
