news: Wednesday 1st October 2008

Carl Barat's Dirty Pretty Things have announced that they have split up after three years together. The four-piece, who formed from the break up of The Libertines, have said in a statement that they will be starting other projects, and also confirmed that The Libertines would not be reforming.

The band say on a statement on their website, (here),
"It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things. It's been a glorious three years which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things. (not The Libertines). We are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. We have and are determined to go out as we came in, after which we all have other ventures to be getting on with and splendid future plans. Heartfelt thanks to all who made it what it was, much love and we'll see you on the road ."

The band will still play a month long UK tour which kicks off this Saturday. The band released two albums during their career. Their debut 'Waterloo To Anywhere' was released in September 2006 and 'Romance At Short Notice' was released earlier this summer.
