Sabemos perfectamente que cuando un rockstar saca un disco veremos aluviones de noticias relacionadas a él, su nueva producción y todo lo que lo rodea. Una buena forma de mantener a todos hablando de ellos, sin duda. Esta vez es el caso de Pete Doherty , quien ahora se puso a hablar de una posible reunión de The Libertines . Carl no quiere seguir el mismo camino y solucionar las cosas. Él todavía piensa que estoy rodeado de esta energía negra entonces tengo que probar que no es así y [...]

Another photo feature from GLONO's new UK HQ. This time, we catch Carl Barat at a tiny club in North East England.

A while back Pete Doherty made it known that The Libertines had been offered in upwards of £2 million to reunite for festival season, and bandmate Carl Barat pretty much immediately put the kabash on anything of the sort. But then the two seemed chummy at the NME Shockwave Awards , and now Pete "Publicity Machine" Doherty is back at it again, saying The Libertines reunion will definitely happen. What's different now, Petey? We're going to have to wait to find out. [...]

From the ever reliable NME, we have finally gotten the news that Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are COMPLETELY broke. One, or both, are actually homeless and now are tapping into the one legacy that they haven't fucked up or sold for drugs so they can eat again and trust me, Carl needs to eat. The man is wasting away. Pete will give you all the deets, all you need to do is listen to NME Radio (unlikely, I know) so uh, I'm sure I'll post for all those interested tomorrow. Pete Doherty [...]
Noel Fielding wants Robert Smith to guest star in the upcoming Mighty Boosh film, Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon shared the stage for the first time in a decade and Pete Doherty said he has ways of convincing Carl Barat to reunite The Libertines . Yes, it was all going down at the NME Shockwave awards . But, honestly - can you expect any less from a program that sends its winners home with a giant bronzed middle finger? [...]
Il leader dei Babyshambles ha dichiarato agli Shockwaves NME Awards che riuscirà a convincere Carl Barat -------

Carl Barat has announced that he will play a second live date at the Wakefield Escobar next month. Barat's first performance will now be on March 6, after the previously-announced March 7 date sold out. Read about our coverage of his US tour and his performance at The Troubadour here.

Pese a los rumores del posible regreso de The Libertines , uno de los pocos grupos que honran la etiqueta del nuevo britpop , parece que uno de sus fundadores, Carl Barat, no está por la labor . No sólo lo ve poco probable, sino que ha afirmado que es lo último que haría en su vida. Tras la disolución de Dirty Pretty Things el cantante emprenderá una gira en solitario y potenciará su carrera de actor. De momento interpretará a Gene Vincent en Telstar , un biopic [...]

Even after Pete Doherty casually mentioned in NME this week that The Libertines had been offered £2 million to play festival-headling gigs, Carl Barat is adamant that there's no price tag on a band reunion - it can't be bought, and it ain't happenin, kids. In NME this week , Doherty said he was ready to get the old gang together for the cash. "We had some ridiculous offers to headline Reading," Doherty told NME. "Like £2 million to headline this festival, £1 million to headline [...]
Pete Doherty reveals to the NME that the Libertines have received multiple offers worth millions of pounds to reunite for British festivals but that co-leader Carl Barat has nixed them all. "We had some ridiculous offers to headline Reading," he...

From page 6 (since this may as well be a gossip blog anyway....) January 27, 2009 -- THAT Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell gave patrons of the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel a free show last weekend, declaring it "Open Mike Night," whipping out his guitar and singing old hits while Moldy Peaches founder Adam Green, the Libertines' Carl Barat, Bravery frontman Sam Endicott and Mac Guy Justin Long joined in . . .

Carl Barat and Glavegas @ The Troubadour If you guys are looking for any reviews of Glasvegas, you're actually in the wrong blog because (according to the Trou badour) it was Carl Barat and Glavegas playing last night. Now, if you don't know by now, this blog thoroughly disapproves of Glasvegas and Alan McGee in general so it will be all about the opener. Carl showed up on stage in this amazing black coat with big, ornate buttons and 5" cuban heels [...]
Although their potential is limitless, the huge buildups on every song can seem excessive. read more

Glasvegas and Carl Barat at Chop Suey, Seattle | 10 January 2009 Last night while waiting for Glasvegas , the best new band in Britain (man, how many unfortunate bands have been tagged with that line?), I guessed that the band must have hand picked every song played over the PA with the intention of giving us a history lesson, or at least a connect the dots of the many bands, who have influenced Glasvegas. There were songs by girl groups like the Crystals [...]
Carl Barat apareció en el escenario en un show de Glasvegas y tocó junto al grupo un par de canciones . El que fue creador de The Libertines y Dirty Pretty Things se unió cuando la banda tocó "We'll Meet Again", canción que Dame Vera Lynn hizo famosa durante la segunda guerra mundial y más recientemente por Johnny Cash. Además también tocó una segunda canción, "Daddy's Gone", y se retiró con un gran aplauso de la gente. Comparte esta anotación
Enjoy Wednesday night's take on 'We'll Meet Again' below. MP3 at bottom. MP3: Glasvegas - Daddy's Gone

We've been gaga for all things Libertines for a long time now. To the point of being apologists for that degenerate druggy, Pete Doherty. So, it's with mixed feelings that we approach the news that ex-Libertine Carl Barat's band, Dirty...

There are so many reasons people are drawn to The Libertines, everyone has their own take on their music. I love them becasue of their uniquely melodic songs, mixed with superb lyrics and their uneveness in playing which I believes creates something extremely special. Because of this, I leap at the chance of finding any secret demos or unreleased tracks. And because they wrote so much, it seems like we will never find all of it, but here are some tracks which I have found and that I find to be the best. Who's Got The [...]

Yes, you heard right, Carl Barat is opening up for the band ALAN MCGEE CALLS GLASVEGAS at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. It was speculated (mostly by me) that he might be the opener for all the dates on their short US tour. Oh you Brits... the US is bigger than NY, Boston, Philly, DC, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and LA.... You're forgetting that the 2nd best city in the US is AUSTIN, TX. But anyway... I guess he is only doing a one off in our fair city! If you don't have a ticket... check craigslist and ebay because its [...]
