Gig Junkie

"CAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRLL!!!"

Gig Junkie is the title of a photographic book soon to be published by NME photographer Sarah Thompson. The tome features over 200 photographs of bands including Babyshambles, Bloc Party, Morrissey, Paul Weller, Ian Brown and more.

The photo above was taken at a Babyshambles gig at The Underground, Stoke, in April 2004. Sarah Thompson explains: "This photo of Pete Doherty was taken at one of the maddest gigs ever. Carl Barat unexpectedly joined Pete onstage and the crowd went crazy. This shot shows Pete shouting 'Carl!' and I think it really captures a moment."

Check out Sarah's beautiful pictures at her website.
