"The Libertines are to reform.
Former frontman Pete Doherty revealed at the NME Awards
on Wednesday night (24.020.09), he and bandmate Carl Barat are to put the group back together.
Pete said: “I’ve written and recorded a solo album, there’s probably another one on the way. There’s an amazing Babyshambles record coming too and The Libertines is going to happen.”
Pete - who was kicked out of the British band in 2004 after Carl grew tired of his drug taking - insists Carl is as enthusiastic about the reunion as he is.
He added: “I didn’t twist Carl’s arm too far. He doesn’t take kindly to it. He’s not harder than me but he’s got a nasty streak. Twist it too far and it’ll snap.”"

No thanks.
For me they exemplify exactly what's so bad about music coming out of the U.K. right now.
-
i think its fucking awesome
-
they broke up?
-
FUCK YEAH. It's official. They already booked two festivals this summer (Leeds and Reading) and gave an interview to NME. Here's the link to the video-interview even though I think most people here don't care, I'm fuckin stoked.

I've already booked me Reading ticket.
Just for Saturday though. I'm not paying about 200 quid to see Weezer, Blink 182 and Limp Bizkit.

Damn jealous!!!! Saturday is the only day worth attending anyways. So many good acts!! Gunsnroses woulda been ok as well...but not worth paying a whole day...I really hope they'll make their way through switzerlland...

sick but do bands ever make a good album after reunions?
-
I dont know...but in this case they all didn't stop making music. Pete has Babyshambles, Carl had that irrelevant band...erm Dirty Pretty things...the drummer was Djing....so I hope they will put something good out. it's not like they reunite for the money...not only at least.
