[edit] Trivia
- On a holiday in Taipei, Carl Barat of Dirty Pretty Things broke his collarbone, so, DPT recruited the help of Josh Hubbard to play guitar while Carl's injury heals.
- Known for their loyal fanbase in various interviews Bassist Lloyd Dobbs has said it is due to their willingness to play almost any venue. Infact the volume of shows they play is so high that including the upcoming tour between the dates of 08/04/2005 and 09/11/2006 they will have played 150+ shows.
