Babyshambles finally play V Festival Stafford
Babyshambles finally played the Stafford leg of V Festival 2007 tonight (August 19) - taking the stage four hours late.
For once though Pete Doherty was not to blame for the delay as his band were held up by traffic and so organisers swapped their slot on the Channel 4 Stage for headlining the Virgin Mobile Union tent.
Arriving onstage bang on 10pm, Doherty sprayed the crowd with beer before launching into forthcoming single 'Delivery'.
Dressed in a leather jacket and hat that made him look strangely like Indiana Jones, the frontman then led his band into 'Pipedown' without uttering a word.
Finally breaking his silence, Doherty philosophically contemplated the route his career has taken lately.
"I remember the days when they used to throw nice things like rosaries and crucifixes," he told the crowd. "Now it's all bottles of piss."
Playing 2006 single 'The Blinding', the band then took the tent by surprise cutting straight into a cover of The Clash's 'Jennie Jones', the track they recorded for Joe Strummer memorial charity Strummerville.
The band later previewed 'Baddies Boogie' from forthcoming album 'Shotter's Nation'.
'Albion' quickly followed, with the audience again in strong voice, after which Doherty belatedly told the crowd "we're Babyshambles, by the way."
With fate promoting them to one of the festival's headliners, Babyshambles finished off their suitably rousing fashion, exploding with 'Fuck Forever', which Doherty ended by demolishing the drum kit before calmly sipping his beer and leaving the stage. |
Dirty Pretty Things premiere new songs in London
Dirty Pretty Things debuted two new tracks for an intimate club show in London tonight (July 23).
The four-piece played a short acoustic set for a small crowd at the Cuckoo Club minus drummer Gary Powell.
During the performance the band road tested new track 'Come Closer' and 'Plastic Hearts' for a show which was being filmed for a future screening on Alan McGee's Rock World TV.
Following a technical hitch the band had to play 'Come Closer' twice. Singer Carl Barat, who was dressed in a black trilby hat and red hoodie, joked: "I think the sound engineer fucked up with that so we're going to have do it again."
Speaking after their set Barat told NME.COM: "Obviously being managed by Alan McGee a gig like this is going to get slung our way so we were more than happy to do it. To be honest it's just a pleasure to get out there and play some new songs again even though they're pretty much cobbled together at this stage."
Guitarist Anthony Rossomando added: "It was great to play them acoustically as well because we've never done that before. It was really sparse."
Later Enter Shikari put in a chaotic performance which saw various members of the band jumping into the mosh pit.
The band played a six song set which mainly comprised of tracks from their debut album 'Take To The Skies', including 'OK Time For Plan B', 'Sorry You're Not A Winner' and b-side 'Keep It On Ice'.
Singer Roughton "Rou" Reynolds, who was wearing a baseball cap underneath a grey hoodie, invited various members of the audience to sing into the mic, mounted various chairs before he eventually jumped on a fan's shoulders.
The singer also made the crowd form a human pyramid before the end of their riotous performance.
Signing off Reynolds added: "This is definitely the weirdest gig we've ever played but thank you. We've been Enter Shikari."
Further performances came from Milburn, Glass Vegas and Hatcham Social.
