Babyshambles are a band formed in London, England by Pete Doherty as a side-project to (and later full time after departing) The Libertines. The band’s first single, Babyshambles, was released in April 2004 on High Society Records. Fewer than 1,000 copies of the CD and 7” were released and both can now be found changing hands for more than £50 on internet auction sites such as eBay. During September and October 2004 Babyshambles embarked on a UK tour culminating in two sold-out shows at the London Scala.
