Dirty Pretty Things Disband

Carl Barat's post-Libertines band, Dirty Pretty Things, have announced their split after just two albums, including this year's Romance At Short Notice.

Here's their official band statement: "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."
