Barat has new song for Libertines reunion
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 30 June 2010
Carl Barat has told NME that he has written a new song that could become a Libertines track. As previously reported, Barat, Pete Doherty, thingimy and the other one will reform as The Libertines for this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals, and will presumably primarily perform songs for the band’s two albums. But Barat says he has at least one new song he hopes the band will play.
Speaking to the music mag at last weekend’s Glastonbury Festival, Barat said: “The Libertines – we haven’t done any preparation yet, apart from being in touch. I am sending Pete a song – actually I must email that today – maybe we’ll do something with that. We’re going to rehearse before the gigs, obviously. It’s all pretty natural. Generally it just comes together – you’re starting to get me a bit worried now! Nah, it’s going to be great”.
