The NME writes:

The singer performed a mammoth two hour acoustic set laced with Libertines classics, Babyshambles tracks and the odd new song at the Rhythm Factory.

As well as the likes of 'Killamangiro', 'What Katy Did Next' and 'Albion', the singer, who constantly had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, sparked mass singalongs when he performed the likes of 'What A Waster', 'Can't Stand Me Now' and 'Time For Heroes'.

Early on in the show Doherty also paid tribute to Oasis by briefly performing 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.

Babyshambles Play at Selfridges

Babyshambles recently played a small gig at the Selfridges 7th floor car park for fashion label Gio Goi.

Here are videos for "The Blinding", "Delivery" and "Albion."

They also played "Killamangiro."

Photos are available here.

NME writes:

"Kicking off at 1.50, Pete Doherty and his band played a four-song set to mark the launch of Manchester fashion label Gio-Goi new range, which was inspired by the singer.

With fans urged to get to the seventh floor car park for "12.30pm sharp", some feared the singer would not make the show, and a significant minority drifted off during the long wait.

However when he did finally take the stage Doherty made fun of his reputation asking the crowd "Where have you been?, I've been in the stationary department on my own for the last hour-and-a half."

Despite then promising the crowd a three-song set, Babyshambles then powered through four tracks for the assembled fans."

New Adam Interview

The Highland News released an interview with Adam on 7 December.

Here's an outtake:

The band – with the release of The Blinding five-track EP on Parlophone – is also at the centre of a bidding war between record labels itching to sign them up.

The word should be with the world any day.

The imminent big record deal signing was even mentioned at Pete’s latest court appearance where he was fined and given a four-month driving ban. Since then, the death of an actor at a party Pete attended the night before the court case has found him on the front page of the tabloids again.

But what about the music – and the future of Babyshambles?

“It’s all at a delicate stage, but we’ve just got to hold it together,” said Adam. “The idea is to do a UK tour – have Christmas with our families – and then go away for two or three months and do the next album. Some of it’s written.

“It’s now or never to get the music recognised, cos Down In Albion wasn’t picked up on as much as it could have been.”

Stookie and Jim Demos

Pete Doherty and Mick Whitnall have released a collection of demos online at Frenchdogblues.com. It includes nine songs, some of which have not been heard before. It has been said that this collection will be used as the basis for the next Babyshambles album.

The tracklisting is:

1.There She Goes (A Little Heartache)
2.Crumb Begging Baghead
3.New Love Grows On Trees
4.Unbilotitled
5.Unstookietitled
6.Carry On Up The Morning
7.Cuckoo 1440
8.Delivery
9.A Fool There Was
