I can't find it on the web, but the back cover of the last Libertines album has them walking East on Delancey Street (away from the Bowery Ballroom).

Thing about this sleeve -- it was shot on Minetta Lane (note the back entrace of the Fat Black Pussycat behind them -- just up the street from the apartment Al Pacino lived in in "Serpico". If these dudes were from Asbury Park, fuck are they doing in the Village?

― Alex in NYC, Sunday, 6 May 2007 23:27 (eighteen years ago)

hangin' out behind fat black pussycat?

― funny farm, Sunday, 6 May 2007 23:40 (eighteen years ago)

strange, i always assumed that was shot in asbury park, which did in fact have a pussycat theatre. but then again, they were on their way to eventually having the "asbury" removed from their name anyway, so maybe they just wanted to get a head start.

speaking of which, is there any band that hasn't gotten significantly worse after removing the place of origin from their name (asbury, delaware, nashville, for example)?
