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).
