ザ・リバティーンズ
They formed a band with their neighbour Steve Bedlow, commonly referred to as "Scarborough Steve," and named themselves "The Strand", later discarded for "The Libertines" after the Marquis de Sade's Lusts of the Libertines ("The Albions" was also considered, but rejected; Albion is an archaic name for Britain). They later met John Hassall and Johnny Borrell, who played bass with the Libertines for a short period. Many of their early gigs took place in the flat shared by Doherty and Barât.
