They did a few when Pete got out of Rehab I think.

Sorry I stopped being a crazy fan a while ago so haven't been keeping track. Which rehab attempt would this be exactly? Would it be in the last month or so?

Babyshambles Blog No 7: In which I sleep with the Paddingtons
The Babyshambles bassist is in Munich playing the MTV Awards, or is it the European Madangle Abrasions?

Ay up, whatcher, ahoy, now then etc.
Tonight I find myself in Munich as tomorrow we're playing a MTV thing here. Snoop Dogg is presenting it so I guess it must be kind of a big deal ... as a band we don't ever watch MTV so I/we don't know much about it, really. I think it's the European Madangle Abrasions or something. It'll be watched by 177m or at least that's the word on the managerial street. It's quite a luxury to have people to think for us as we're such a hopeless gaggle of bumbling buffoons who still ain't made the obvious link between the words 'music' and 'career'.
So I left the Fionn Regan travelling rascals in Glasgow, after a show at King Tut's with Slow Club. Man, that band are a one-off. Watching them play I knew how a music journalist must have felt when they saw the White Stripes or Arctic Monkeys play a tiny venue, before they blinked onto the global radar in earnest. If they play near you I strongly recommend you beg, steal or blag a ticket. They're THE most charming live band I've ever seen and one gets the feeling, like Gallows (though they have nothing in common, save authenticity), that no recording could capture the magic they ooze effortlessly live. They're my new favorite band! And the drummer plays a wooden chair like a washboard! Sorry about the gushing, but I get very excited about music that makes my heart race.
The Paddingtons are in Glasgow recording their second album at the moment, so they came down to check Fionn out. I went back to their place after the show and listened to some monitor mixes. Their new stuff is certainly more mature, but as a bunch of 23-year-old council estate lads from Hull it still sounds punk as f*ck. Josh kindly drove me to the airport in the morning. The Paddys always look after me when I see them, bless their tattered winkle-pickers.
So anyway, today we sat for six hours doing interviews for German TV and radio. A surprising contrast of questions were asked, from highbrow queries such as Arcadian approaches to creativity to comically base questions like "do you think Shotter's Nation is a good album to make love to?". Though at first we blinked bleary-eyed into the cameras, as the day rolled on we found ourselves embracing the bizarreness, skillfully deflecting the generic questions and elaborating on themes we enjoyed. I do believe we may be getting the hang of this promo pantomime. The world's just a stage ... that we're all going through.
We're off to play a gig tonight, in a circus or summat. Take care and that, here's to things.
