Peter's on a fucking roll

Peter's on a roll, and it's got nothing to do with hash, or toilet paper. I had just read about the solo nights at the Rhythm Factory (see below) when I caught this:

Pete Doherty is to play the biggest solo gig of his career in April. The Babyshambles frontman will headline the Royal Albert Hall in London under his own steam on April 26.The giant gig follows a handful of Pete Doherty solo shows at the Rhythm Factory in London this month. Tickets for the album all show go on sale at 9am on Saturday (February 15).

And the Rhythm Factory thing? Yes, sure, check this out too, here.

And then there's the Mighty Carlos who, in the physical impossibility to play live gigs, has gone back to his 2005 fave activity: dj-ing.

Carl Barat will play a DJ set at Brixton’s Jamm nightclub on March 1. Barat last played a DJ set at the same venue on January 18, where he played a selection of tunes including songs from his band’s forthcoming second album and 'Can't Stand Me Now' by his former band, The Libertines. (Keep checking NME for a Dirty Pretty Things exclusive soon - blah blah blah).

I guess Carlos didn't show up on Saturday night at the Mango Joes then? Well, spinning records is funny Carlito but we'd like to see you on a stage sometimes. With your band. On your own. With Pizza (preferably). Whatever.

Oh, all the above info comes from NME.com.

We have also a review of the Babyshambles gig at the Manchester Apollo, and it comes from the Manchester Evening News.
