Dirty Pretty Things are a band formed by Carl Barat after his former band The Libertines split.

The band achieved success and fame well before even releasing a single - their pre-single tour sold out within an hour, forcing the band to add extra dates.

Barat enisted former Libertines drummer Gary Powell as well as Didz Hammond from the band Electric Soft Parade.

The group released their debut single and album in 2006.

Dirty Pretty Things are:

Carl Barat - guitar and vocals,
Anthony Rossomundo - guitar and vocals,
Didz Hammond - bass,
Gary Powell - drums
