Created by ex-Libertines frontman, Pete Doherty, Babyshambles have one of the highest profiles in the british music industry, not entirely thanks to their music. Pete's drug addiction has received large amounts of press, not to mention his on-off relationship with supermodel, Kate Moss. The band's shambolic live performances and their frequent failures to show up at scheduled gigs are another area of note.The band now signed to Rough Trade records was formed towards the end of Doherty's time in The Libertines as a response after he was not allowed back into the band by Carl Barât, his co-frontman, due to his drug habit. Although initially just viewed as a side-project, they have released an album and several top 10 singles, and can be viewed as a band in their own right.
