The Libertines unveil new puppet show ‘Skint and Minted’
The first episode tells the story of the boys in the band.
In today’s example of shows we never knew we needed, The Libertines have unveiled a hilarious new puppet show called ‘Skint and Minted’, which tells the story of the boys in the band.
Narrated by “the main one”, drummer Gary Powell, the five minute first episode is a must watch for Libertines fans, as the lads tell the story of how they first got together and signed to Rough Trade.
“This is perfect,” says Carl in puppet form to Pete. “We’re gonna be in a band with Gary and John, and we’ll always be friends and never ever argue or split up or steal each other’s things!”
