Libertines

Je m’appelle Hélène, je suis contente car depuis peu j’ai des nouvelles copines super sympa… mais elles ont un point commun, elles sont toutes dans une relation libre. Elles vivent pleinement de nouvelles expériences tout en étant mariée. Une nouveauté pour moi.
Alors un soir, après quelques verres en terrasse, elles me proposent d’aller en club, mais pas n’importe quel club, un club libertin, échangiste où tout devient possible ! …

Formed in spring 2004, just as the Libertines were beginning to fall apart, Babyshambles became the main vessel for Pete Doherty's poetic, chaotic rock when he was ousted from the Libertines for his increasing drug use and erratic behavior. Babyshambles released their self-titled debut 7" in April 2004, and settled on the lineup of Doherty, guitarist Patrick Walden, bassist Drew McConnell, and drummer Gemma Clarke by that summer. That fall, things went relatively smoothly for the band, with a sold-out U.K. tour and the release of a second single, Killamangiro, on the Libertines' former label, Rough Trade. But by December, the band had to cancel or halt shows because Doherty was unable to perform; one of these sudden cancellations sparked a riot at the London Astoria. Clarke left the band early in 2005 and was replaced with new drummer Adam Ficek.
