Carl Barat: more than 1,000 applications to enter in his new band

 

Ex Libertines Carl Barat announced - last January - he was tired of being a solo artist and was looking for band-members.

After posting a Facebook status inviting aspiring musicians to apply, he was literally flooded with requests. It seems he got more than a thousand applications from different musicians looking to become drummer, bass player and rhythm guitarist of the soon-to-be-born band.

Auditions started on February 3 and Barat stated: "It's going to be hard to find the right people, I don't want a supergroup, as fans they are not that different to me and I'm not trying to relive the past either. Now there is no longer the back pages of the music weeklies to recruit a band I have had to use what is available today. This isn't some sort of indie-X Factor and I'm definitely no Simon Cowell, this is the real thing".
