About
As of October 1, 2008 Dirty Pretty Things are no more. Go here for more info. They're puffin on a coffin nail, bang bang they're dead. RIP - They will be sadly missed. *sobs*


Dirty Pretty Things are:

Carl Barât - lead vocals, guitar, rubbish accents, back dimples, three inch heels, sass, mumbling
David "Didz" Hammond - vocals, bass, furry chest, mouth breathing, R.I.P. pornstache, Where The Action Is
Anthony "Stan" Rossomando - guitar, vocals, trumpet, waterpolo, salt
Gary "G-Dogg" Powell - drums, cardigans, hats, being relatively normal, scully

sometimes Josh "indie spare tire" Hubbard - guitar, The Paddingtons, supermodel, purple briefs, snuggling, Hull, Winner of the End of the Year Award 2006 for Best Example of On-stage Groping





"They were well fit and nice, DPT" - NME




This is an open community and we encourage your participation, which can take various forms, including but not limited to:

news about the band or any of its individual members
photos
gig reports
copies of reviews
attempts to decipher Carl's mumbles
uploads of videos and songs
and those moments when you just can't control yourself any longer and have to burst out with, on one end of the spectrum, fangirly squeeing or, on the other end of the spectrum, rants about OMG Carl is so B.U.R.M.A. I think my eyeballs are boiling!

Please refrain from flaming other members; as ourferocity says, 'we already have enough flamers in the band'. Disagreements can, and should, be expressed politely and without resorting to personal attacks.

We love photos, but please don't hotlink. This pisses off the nice people who originally posted the photos and then they might take them away forever, oh noes!

Please don't use text speak. It makes our heads hurt.

Anonymous commenting is lame.

Leaked B-Sides may be offered behind a locked post until the day the single is released. After that, the post will be deleted. In addition, if you are requesting a leaked B-Side, lock your post. The only B-Side allowed to be requested and/or uploaded at any time is Chinese Dogs, due to a legal download not yet being available. All bets are off. If ya can't download it because you live in a country that doesn't start with a U and end with K, uploads/downloads of vinyl b-sides are allowed and welcome. But do lock your post.

If you're new to the community, have a look around in memories. There are over 300(!) posts categorized. You can also find posts by clicking on tags. A list of all the community's tags can be found here. Please note that friends-only posts won't appear if you haven't joined the community.

Our goal is to have fun. We don't take ourselves, or even the band, too seriously. Attempts to take the band seriously may well be met with uproarious laughter and posting of this photo:
