Carl Barât will release his long-awaited debut solo L.P on October 4. The self-titled album will be available via his label, Arcady, and the first single, “Run With The Boys,” is out on the same day.
The ex-Dirty Pretty Things frontman and the now-reformed Libertines co-frontman (with Pete Doherty, of course) has been very busy recently and it has been confirmed that he has written his first book. To be published by Harper Collins on September 30, “Threepenny Memoir” is a collection of stories from his life; his love of London, his heroes, and the highs and lows of being in a band.
Barât will also be setting out on a 22-date UK and European tour with a five-piece band. The first date is in our fair city Brighton, at the Coalition on October 15, and he wraps up in Bologna on November 11. Tickets are on sale now.
