Dirty Pretty Things' Carl Barat and Anthony Rossomando after their final gig,
20 December 2008
Band give final interview after last gig to NME.COM
Dirty Pretty Things have told NME.COM of the regrets they have about their
band, after Carl Barat and co. played their final gig last night (December
20) at the London Astoria 2 venue.
Barat said that he was too "idealistic" about the band, which he formed after
The Libertines split in 2004, but also that he was looking forward to the
future with his friendships with his bandmates intact.
The interview, along with a video message to fans, is available to read in
full on the NME Office Blog now.
"I do have regrets," Barat told NME.COM. "I have to refer you to Max Weber
and functionalism – democracy can’t always work. I was a bit idealistic. I
wanted a band of brothers and friends.
"We had that for a while. Occasionally things went awry. Our hearts were
always in the same place. We were all very young in different ways. Yeah, I
do have regrets, but I wouldn’t change anything. The day the expectation and
the regimentation of the band died was the day we became friends again."
Guitarist Anthony Rossomando agreed with the frontman, saying of the time the
band rekindled their friendships, "It was like slicing out a cyst, or
something. I don't think we ever fitted in the suit [of being a regimented
band]."
