Babyshambles Banned From Festival For Scientific Reasons • Doherty's boys are not welcome at Westbury's Moonfest after British intelligence officials offered this detailed analysis of the band's effect on audiences: "They speed up and then slow down the music and create a whirlpool effect in the crowd. They [the crowd] all get geed up and then they start fighting" (via Guardian). Analysis is the best. (Thanks to our British readers for all the tips. Your reward: Pete and Lee Mavers make a video. Watch out for geed up whirlpools though.)

Dude. everyone knows Doherty is nothing compared to the Libertines. And those guys aren't even as good as Pretty Girls Make Graves or any of those other bands in that scene.
Score = 0
saw them perform at Budapest last week. all they did was make the crowd snore. they were ridiculously boring.
