Adam Ficek , el baterista de Babyshambles , estuvo hablando del nuevo disco del grupo y dijo que el sonido se parece mucho a lo que hacía la banda britpop por excelencia: The Stone Roses. Los demos ya están siendo grabados y el baterista estuvo hablando de ellos en el -Daily Star : "Las canciones que hicismos hasta ahora tienen un buen groove, como lo primero que hacían los Stone Roses. Tiene menos de rock 'n' roll y punk. Está más dirigido por el beat [...]
Moment d'ironie: As usual, j'avais crissement envie de fumer une cigarette. Surtout après avoir survécu a presqu'une heure d'attente, pris dans les méandres de l'un de ces multiples processus qu'on doit subir lorsque vient le temps de remplacer une fucking carte d'assurance maladie perdu. Faque sort du building, allume la clope, puff puff, débarre/embarque sur le vélo, puff puff pis là, j'aperçois comme un morceau de papier qu'on a attaché à mon guidon. Comme je suis quelqu'un d'extrêmement prudent, j'attends évidemment la prochaine lumière y jeter un oeil. On pouvait y lire: Inscrivez-vous au cyclo-défi contre le cancer. [...]

In the latest case of NME.com toying with our hearts by publishing a story that is either a.) potentially true because Pete Doherty is involved and the story and we all know how much NME loves Peter Doherty, or b.) is a complete exaggeration resulting from NME misinterpreting one line some random roadie said at a bar at 3:00 a.m., the British music publication is reporting that Lee Mavers has tapped Pete Doherty and Babyshambles to serve as backing band for the next La's album. Yes, the same La's that haven't shelled out an [...]
Lee Mavers of The La's must have had a great time with Pete Doherty on his recent solo tour. The Liverpool songwriter has asked Doherty's band Babyshambles to be his backing band on his band's new record. Babyshambles' drummer Adam Ficek confirmed the possible collaboration, telling NME that Mavers thoroughly enjoyed playing with the group and asked about collaborating with them. "He said how much he loved what we do, how we play, how we look," said Ficek. "Then Peter [...]
File under I'll Believe It Only When The Finished Product Is In My Hands (Or At Least My iTunes Playlist): "The La's' Lee Mavers has asked Pete Doherty if Babyshambles will help out with the recording of the second La's album.... 'Lee said he's got loads of songs written and he'd like us to get involved,' [Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek] said. 'I'm not sure where it'll go from here, but it's enough to get excited about.' " Note that Mavers was quoted only a month ago as saying that he "doesn't see the point" of resurrecting the old [...]
Hace tiempo que no le dedicábamos atención a las incorporaciones al festival BBk Live , por lo que ha sido toda una sorpresa encontrarme con nombres tan interesantes . La cita en Bilbao cuenta ya con unos cuantos nombres jugosos, además de aquella noticia revelación que daba como primer gran grupo confirmado a Depeche Mode. Especialmente interesante parecen sábado y domingo. Lástima que me pille bien lejos. De momento la cosa queda así: 9 de julio: [...]

Littl' Ans Genre: Indie / Pop / Progres sive From: London, United Kingdom As befits a band who's had a U.K. hit dueting with Peter Doherty (on the sublime single "Their Way"), Littl'ans is no stranger to chaos. Its last British tour saw gigs canceled thanks to, amongst other things, an exploding gas canister and a double booking with 80s legend Echo and the Bunnymen . When it [...]
Filed under: Potent Quotables "He looks a little bit like me, apart from he's filthy and he's always pulling a weird expression, or doing something violent or illegal." -- Pete Doherty In a recent interview , the singer explained the "media created" version of him you see in the papers. In his words, his "evil twin." OK. Next Quote Download Pete Doherty Songs
Ecco la grande notizia: il tour della reunion dei Faith No More toccherà anche l'Italia e lo farà a Milano il 14 giugno in occasione del Rock In Idro . La band di Mike Patton sarà sicuramente l'attrazione principali della due giorni milanese che vedrà esibirsi sabato 13, tra gli altri, Babyshambles , i grandi Social Distortion e i All-American Rejects (tanto per attirare un po' di ragazzine) mentre domenica 14 in compagnia dei Faith No More ci saranno i Limp Bizkit (anche loro riuniti) e i Lacuna Coil [...]
Yeah, I'm off to Albion (as Pete Doherty would say)! I am going to meet up with my lovely Holly Golightly tomorrow and then we will be walkin' round London town (as Lily Allen would say) for 6 days! Peace out darlings!
[Happy Monday. Here are some new sounds that reached my ears:] What does O+S equal? The duo — a seemingly unlikely collaboration between Azure Ray's Orenda Fink and Scalpelist (Cedric LeMoyne of Remy Zero) — has given birth to a self-titled album (due March 24 on Saddle Creek) of understated but cinematic pop. Many of the songs began as field recordings Fink made; you can hear the organic noises married with Scalpelist's electronics in the churn of "Permanent Scar." O+S opens for Great Northern [...]
No, we're not doing that this week actually, although Five Ways to Leave Your Lover would be a fine Friday Five at some point in the future. Nothing too insulting, nothing too pedestrian, and points given for believability combined with strangeness. Nice idea actually but, well, maybe later. This week's five were suggested by the excellent Mr. Team Turnip on the Pains of Being Pure at Heart review, I think. It was all about bands who develop their songwriting and those who simply consolidate once they have found a style with which they and their fans are comfortable. [...]
NEW PETE DOHERTY ALBUM The new Pete Doherty album (excuse us, Peter Doherty) presents us with yet another different side to this poetic and troubled English troubador and former Libertine. His new album Grace/Wastelands , an admitted 'odds and sods' collection of songs the Babyshambles' frontman has had drifting in his back collection for years, is a cathartic trek down a dark road, with minimal guitar lines (played by the inimitable Graham Coxon) playing over Doherty's inspired lyrical wordplay to piercing effect that, while not immediately grasping, proves to [...]
If you happen to see Pete Doherty today, you should wish him a happy birthday. The former Libertines frontman turns 30 today and he's celebrating by releasing his first solo album, Grace/Wastelands . We've got the first single, "New Love Grows on Trees." In the last year of his 20s, Pete managed to sell out his show at London's Royal Albert Hall and exhibit artwork in Paris. Grace/Wasteland , the first major endeavor of his 30s, features his Babyshambles bandmates as well as Blur's [...]
Think you know Peter Doherty ? Vilified by the world's press and written off at every turn, Peter Doherty finds himself constantly at the centre of a media maelstrom, a frenzy that bombards his private life with allegations, accusations, invasions and intrusions. They say that it's calmest in the eye of the hurricane, and that's where you'll find Peter; coolly strumming his guitar while the storm around him carries him ever closer to Arcadia. Pete Doherty - Grace/Wastelands review That quest for utopia still propels Peter in [...]
E o Matheus deu a dica de que o vídeo de "Last Of The English Roses" , do novo álbum do Peter Doherty, já está rolando faz um tempo. Pode ser visto no MySpace do cantor ou em tela cheia no vídeo aí embaixo:
O novo álbum de Peter Doherty , o garoto problema preferido (principalmente pelos tablóides ingleses) do rock atual já está disponível para audição e pode ser encontrado para download facilmente. E a sonoridade não lembra nem de longe a atribulada vida de Doherty. Manja aqueles bailinhos de filme americano? No final, quando rola a música calminha, pra dançar juntinho? Pois qualquer música de "Grace/Wastelands" poderia ocupar fácil espaço num filme desses. Não que isso seja ruim; a voz de Doherty está limpa, agradável. As músicas mostram amadurecimento. "Arcady", que abre o disco, é uma balada, bem [...]
