The Libertines

💥 “People are less money-grabbing, capitalist swines in general, and that’s something the UK could definitely benefit from.” - John, from an interview with mental health organisation The Mind Map. Read in full here: https://bit.ly/2z5neNj

💥 Don't forget, if you have some time over the next few days, we need one of these types of affairs designing for our new bar at The Albion Rooms, dubbed 'The Waste Land'. Send your submissions to [email protected] by Sunday 11th August. 💥

💥 See you at 9:30pm tomorrow on the main stage x

💥 Great news: The Albion Rooms Hotel bar will be open very soon, and we’ve decided to name it ‘The Waste Land’ inspired by the T.S. Eliot poem. We thought we’d reach out to our artistic fans regarding the pub sign (of the hanging variety) and see what you guys come up with. We don't want the band on the sign, so let the poem inspire you. Eye-catching and easy to read is key! If we like it then it’ll be hung above the pub for the whole world to see, sound good? Send your submissions to [email protected] by Sunday 11th August, good luck! X

💥 If you get tired of just hanging around Pick up a guitar and spin a web of sound And then you could be strung out all day With lovers and clowns Now I find myself hanging around It's been a long war, we're tired and dirty Still not dirty enough for you Well I've been thieving I stole the light from the dawn Well if you come round this ledge You wish you'd never been born Oh tell me you can you see me Oh, can't you see through it all? I'm empty lost and alone Oh won't you heed my call? It's been a long war, we're tired and dirty Still not dirty enough for you Oh I'm so tired of hanging around Oh I'll pick up a guitar, spin a web of sound Spin my love So tired of hanging around Just hanging around Just hanging around
