Carl Barat: 'The Libertines Made Me Wiser'

Carl Barat has revealed he thinks The Libertines have made him a much wiser person.

Barat was speaking at the launch of Dirty Pretty Things� debut single �Bang Bang You�re Dead� at HMV on Oxford Street, London.

Speaking about The Libertines, he told BBC 6music: "I think it aged me a little maybe. But it means I'm a bit wiser. I think we've all matured a fair bit actually."

During the single launch, Barat and co. played 11 songs including The Libertines tracks �Death On The Stairs� and �I Get Along.�

Speaking about the set, Barat reflected: "People seem to be dancing around to everything so it's really reassuring. People seem to know everything too from the internet, so that's given us a bit of a headstart too."
