Dirty Pretty Things Split

Dirty Pretty Things

Dirty Pretty Things have split up, and all four members will now pursue new musical projects (none of which will be called The Libertines, before you ask).

In a statement issued to the NME, the band said: "It is with some sadness we announce the farewell of the Dirty Pretty Things. It's been a glorious three years which we all would gladly live out again, but it is time for us to try new things (not The Libertines). We are reluctant to give up touring but will give the last waltz everything. We have and are determined to go out as we came in, after which we all have other ventures to be getting on with and splendid future plans. Heartfelt thanks to all who made it what it was, much love and we'll see you on the road".

And so, here are the band's very last tour dates ever:

4 Oct: Glasgow, ABC
5 Oct: Edinburgh, Old Picture House
