Babyshambles – Stranger in my own skin

iamge by Guitguit

“I am a stranger, stranger in my own skin.”

If there is one artist that has kept my attention over the past years it would have to be Peter Doherty. His music has crawled into my skin in my London times and has followed me all the way over to Berlin. And how wonderful: Berlin seems to be a city that he also seems to love, since he gave three concerts over here last week – one with the Babyshambles at Huxley´s Neue Welt and the two other onces where short-notice announced accoustic sessions together with the guitar player from the Babyshambles Mick Whitnall. They gave songs out of their current album Sequel to the Prequel as well as some “old classics” – including one of my favourite rock hymns of all time Fuck Forever as the perfect concert closure. Well, even though you really never wanted it to end and just listen forever.
