LIBERTINES REUNITE FOR ONE-OFF GIG
Slow-news day on the blogosphere, but over the weekend it was all about UK garage-rock revivalists the Libertines reuniting with three of the original members (who really cares about John Hassell the bassist anyway?) at the London Rhythm Factory as a tribute gig to Johnny Sedassy, the late, great promoter who helped launched the band’s career back in the day.
Babyshambles began the set with Pete Doherty in good spirits, blasting through classics like “Kilimanjaro” and “Albion” to the delight of fans. He was then joined on stage by Carl Barat and Gary Powell who proceeded to rip through a set of Libs essentials. The playlist apparently was:

“What A Waster”
“Up The Bracket”
“What Katy Did”
“Can’t Stand Me Now”
“Time For Heroes”
“Death On The Stairs”

Carl and Gary then left the stage to allow Pete and the Babyshambles co. finish up with the likes of “Fuck Forever”. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but you can go here to check out some videos from the side of the stage, here for a great show breakdown by Jamie Fullerton, a reporter for NME (who was also a guest of ours at our Cannibal Cheerleader Blood Bath during SXSW), and check out a longer vid below.
