Babyshambles in Munich

This is a photo taken last night at the MTV Allstars Night at the Circus Krone in Munich. I don't have the exact setlist yet but mlhaim from thelibertines.org, who was there, tells us "the setlist was a good mixture of shotters nation songs and older stuff" and the finale was "killamangiro, pipe down and fuck forever". Mlhaim talks of a good show only partly ruined by Mik's awful state.
The news of the day, though, is that tonight Pete is going to duet with Amy Winehouse at the EMA's main show, at least that's what The Sun claims, so I wouldn't give it too much attention. The only certain thing is that Wino has been confirmed as a last minute addition to the list of performers. There's also a silly snippet about Dave Grohl denying Peter access to his bar because he doesn't want to corrupt a newly cleaned-up bloke yadda yadda yadda.
We're getting in the MTV spirit of course, but only for tonight.
Rock on Shambles.

About MTV and other things

There's an audio interview with Babyshambles made in Scotland last week. Four parts in all (First, Second, Third, Fourth).
Babyshambles are definitely playing the MTV Europe Music Awards next Thursday.
A statement on behalf of the band said: "Babyshambles are very excited to be playing the EMAs and looking forward to their trip to Munich". The ceremony will be hosted by Snoop Dogg, with Wyclef Jean fronting a special backstage show for MTV. For British readers who don't have Sky TV: the show, which airs live on MTV One at 9pm on November 1, will go out on Channel 4 as a 75 minute programme on November 11 as part of T4 Sunday. In the rest of Europe the show will be aired live by the various national MTV channels.
Babyshambles are also playing on the previous night (Wednesday) at the MTV Allstars Night at the Circus Krone as part of the MTV.de music week. Other bands playing are Maximo Park and Sportsfreunde Stiller (I believe the show will only be aired on German TV).
My beloved Drusillo has written another blog.
