The greater rock'n'roll swindle

Never mind the Babyshambles album details - oh look, the next single's got a swear word in the title, how big of them - I'm intrigued by his reading of the Libertines as "probably the most manufactured band ever" on the basis that, um, he and Carl decided to be a bit like the Strokes and recruit other people to be band members. Leaving aside the fact this makes 90% of bands manufactured, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they gigging from about 1997?

NB. Those of you with hardier constitutions may like to compare and contrast Pete's quotes to Vanity Fair about drugs'n'Kate (warning: Ananova entertainment section writing style ahead) with the Babyshambles tour feature in the new NME.
