    Over the years he has rightfully gained a reputation for not turning up for shows but to be honest, they've played more gigs in Glasgow in the past couple years than most bands at the same level, and if you live in London it is not unlikely you can catch them at local pubs and taverns. Not many bands will do this and makes them far more accessible. They played a show at the Barfly in Glasgow on Sunday for 200 people, i only found out about it a few days before so couldnt get tickets.

    I bet the guerilla gigging is frustrating. i.e. "Fuck I was in the pub round the corner", but I suppose it's balanced by the frequency of touring.

    They are playing again at the SECC in December and i have a ticket for that if i want to go, im not sure about work commitments though. I really want to as its great hearing the new stuff, ive only seen them once since they brought out all their new material. If i see them in December it will be the 4th time in about 18 months i think.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    Well, I've often seen posts on the Babyshambles forum by Pete "I'll be playing that pub tonight". So it's not like it was impossible to know.

    Yeah he posts on one of the Babyshambles official forums, and ive seen Drew and Adam posting updates about where they are playing. This most recent Glasgow gig was part of the Mtv2 Gonzo tour, so it was probably well advertised, i just missed it. Heard from a few people that they were trying to buy tickets from touts outside the gig on Sunday and met Mik the guitarist as he was making his way from the tour bus. He told them to forget the touts and put them on the guestlist for free entry. Pretty cool.
