Rare footage of The Libertines from 'The Road to Albion'

I was so excited to watch this rare footage as soon as I heard about it. And right after I started watching, I couldn't help but laugh and think about how those two boys made great music together.

Although Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things are both great, there was just something special about the music that came together when Carl BarĂ¢t and Peter Doherty worked together.

The video was recorded in 2004 and is to be used in a film entitled "The Road to Albion." The film will feature special footage of The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and Babyshambles. There's a cute part where Carl and Pete make up a conversation using New York accents.



And below is supposed to be the trailer. The film is taking longer then planned, so the trailer was removed. But, of course, a fan saved it before it was too late. According to Co-Director Robyn Whitehead's website, the film will be finished in Nov. of this year. Watch it below:



Pete Doherty also did an NME radio interview this week. You can download it HERE. Thanks to Breck Road Lovers for the tip. If you're into all things Libertines, it's a great blog to follow.

gosh, they are so sexy. no joke. Pete on the floor had me melting. gosh, his voice. and Carl's too. I'm so fucking glad they're back together, I only got into their music after they had disbanded.
