History

Peter Doherty and the Puta Madres was formed of members of Doherty's touring band from his 2016 "Eudaimonia" tour, including Drew McConnell, bass player in Doherty's previous band, Babyshambles. In November 2016 they flew to Argentina - recruiting Trampolene's Jack Jones as guitarist at the last minute - to rehearse, before playing their first show together under the Puta Madres name and returning to Europe to play the newly reopened Bataclan in Paris, [2] before shows in London and Manchester.

Over the next two years, the band toured Europe and South America and played many festivals.

In 2017 McConnell left to join Liam Gallagher's touring band and was replaced with French musician Michael Bontemps, known as Miggles. [3]

Their second single "Paradise is Under Your Nose" was premiered online on 2 April and released digitally on 5 April. It was co-written by and features vocals by Jack Jones. [7] Jones and Doherty appeared on the BBC Radio 4 show "Loose Ends", broadcast on 13 April. [8] The same day, along with Katia de Vidas, they performed at Rough Trade West in Notting Hill, London and the band released a double A side pink vinyl of the first two singles for Record Store Day.
