Babyshambles cover Strokes and Oasis at Halloween party

Pete Doherty dresses for the occasion too

Pete Doherty played a raucous Halloween gig in an east London flat last Friday (October 31).

The gig, which was advertised on internet forums, saw Doherty return to the tiny Whitechapel flat he had played at last Monday (October 27).

Taking to the makeshift stage wearing a black cat mask, and with a cigarette poking out from behind his ear, Doherty launched straight into a slowed-down version of The Strokes' 2001 single 'The Modern Age'.

To watch fan footage of Doherty performing the song, click below.

The rest of Doherty's set was made up of his own songs, including Babyshambles' 'Fuck Forever', The Libertines' 'Never Never' and unreleased track '1939 Returning'.

Rumours that Amy Winehouse would also sing at the gig proved to be false, although Doherty's Babyshambles bandmate Mik Whitnall did perform a solo set, taking requests from the crowd.

Whitnall's set included covers of The Libertines 'I Get Along' and Oasis' 'Cigarettes And Alcohol'.

As NME.COM previously reported, Pete Doherty is set to play a solo gig at the Monarch in Camden this Thursday (November 6).

Is there not a better video? I wasn't there but going by the quality of this video it sounds completely out of tune and an awful rendition of one of the best strokes songs.

Have any of you actually listened to Peter's music?You all seem so quick to doubt a talented musician when a large amount of people haven't actually heard any of Peter's material.Stop being so bloomin' (only cos' swear words aren't aloud and all that!) narrow minded and STOP taking on the opinion of the media.

Yes I have heard Pete's music, Up the Bracket was a good album, the second Lib's album was poor, as for the Babyshambles albums, couple of okay tracks on the first one and the second album was shite, I could imagine it would sound pretty good to the younger listener who hasn't really seen any talented musicians yet, maybe in a few years time you'll wisen up, here's hoping for your sake.
