Dirty Pretty Things Call It A Day
Dirty Pretty Things have announced they have decided to split.
The four-piece band who formed in September 2005 have decided it is time to look at other musical avenues in their career.
However, band members, Carl Barat, Didz Hammond, Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomando were keen to point out the fans that those new musical avenues did not involve reforming The Libertines.
Dirty Pretty Things originally formed after The Libertines split seeing Carl Barat, take front-man position in the band along with former Libertines drummer Gary Powell and Pete Doherty‘s former replacement guitarist Anthony Rossomando.
Joining them was Bass player Didz Hammond – and the foursome was complete.
Front-man Carl Barat released a statement to fans with the following:
“It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things,” the statement read. “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.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 bands UK tour dates, kicking off in Glasgow on the 4th October will still go ahead as planned.
