Dirty pretty things: singer Carl Barat's old band, the libertines, was the embodiment of a rock 'n' roll car crash. Don't think his new band, dirty pretty things, is going to be any less of a spectacle. Christopher Bailey catches a glimpse.

September 01, 2006 | Bailey, Christopher

Anyone who thinks that all the anarchic spirit has been bled out of rock music today need look no further than the British band Dirty Pretty Things for proof that it's not only alive, but kicking up a storm. Led by Carl Barat, former front man for the Libertines, the group is an affirmative lesson in the fine art of operating with reckless abandon. Their songs are decidedly risky propositions: moody, melodic, punked-up, and propulsive three-minute numbers that seem to push even their own boundaries, coming together just as they sound like they're about to fall apart. And while Barat's former bandmate, Pete Doherty, used to make headlines for missing shows, Dirty Pretty Things have begun to make them for what happens when they turn up. The band is riding high with the electric buzz of a couple of sold-out tours behind a debut album, Waterloo to Anywhere (Interscope), which has already become a massive hit in the U.K. (The record was recently released stateside.) Here, fashion designer Christopher Bailey, creative director for Burberry, caught up with Barat as he was traveling in Europe for a series of gigs.
