Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek has told NME that the band are ploughing on with plans for their new album, despite frontman Pete Doherty's new fourteen week commitment to being in jail.
Ficek says the band already have demos of songs for the new album, and that they plan to meet with producer Stephen Street (producer of second album 'Shotter's Nation') to discuss him producing the new long player even in Doherty's absence.The drummer told NME: "We stick together, stay positive and keep the music alive. Just before I went on holiday we reconvened and gave Peter a new CD full of songs to start demo-ing for the new album. Mik [Whitnall, guitar] had gone into the studio and put down guitar parts and ideas. I definitely think we'll have a new album out at the end of this year or early next year. The 'Shambles ship will stay on course. This [Doherty's jail time] is a real bad thing for a friend, but he's going to be fine".
Elsewhere in Doherty news, fans of the Babyshambler have launched a Facebook group calling for Pete to be let out of prison. They say the frontman needs "therapy not punishment", though if I remember rightly the courts have given him lots of the former as well as a bit of the latter. I'm not sure the courts take much notice of Facebook petitions, though we live in strange times, so who knows?
