Babyshambles lose contract

2006-05-22 by Damrod EMERITUS | 17 Comments
According to several British magazines and newspapers, Pete Doherty fronted band The Babyshambles lost their record contract with the label Rogh Trade. The label reacts on the many scandals surrounding the band, mainly because of Pete Doherty and his drug abuse.
The deal with Rough Trade runs out soon, and the label tried to negotiate a follow up deal. They gave up though after Doherty and the people surrounding him did not seem to be accessable and open for negotiation. Basically, this is comparable to a kick out the door.
How the band is going to release albums in the future is in jeapordy. The question is if any label wants to work with the band while Doherty is in his current condition. The band could earn it's money with touring, but taking the last disasters for example in Cologne into consideration, this might not be the best idea...

I'm starting to find out more about this guy as the press over here (north america) are picking up on his antics.
He's a retard, yes, but I think it would be FAAARRRRRR worse if he actually died. There's a good chance that he might get the Kurt Cobain/Sid Vicious treatment.

Pete Doherty has turned himself into a total joke. I read somewhere that he actually pays someone to make him look messed up? I mean what the hell... even if that weren't true it still shows how ridiculous he has become that this kind of a story is concocted about him.

No, I'm pretty sure he really is messed up.
I vote we MXers band together and hire Chuck Norris to end the Doherty menace once and for all.

I'd be surprised if any major label takes the risk of picking up a Doherty project any time soon...he's shown such little interest in making music since the demise of The Libertines that hopefully we've heard the last of him. I just wish the media would stop covering him now, really. He's not really talented and all it is now is "DOHERTY TAKES DRUGS MORE AT 11".

Alternatively, we could hire Arnie Schwarzengruber to
a) Kill him with a power drill while shouting 'Screw you, Pete!'
b) Impale him against a wall with a steam pipe while saying 'Hey Pete...let off some steam'.
or
c) Have a dramatic fight with him on a lift, ending with Arnie waving Pete's severed arms about and yelling 'See you at the party, Pete!'
...I just watched Total Recall...

Doherty is an absolute mess....I don't, or dare I say, didn't, ever find any interest or liking in Babyshamble's music.

I don't like his antics outside of music, but he makes some brilliant songs. The song 'Babyshambles' in particular was awesome.
