125th Anniversary Party With Vogue to Bulgari

The Vogue joined Bulgari it ws a very particular cause at the Saatchi gallery in London last night for a glittering party that saw royalty rub shoulders with rock stars and Bond girls in the name of Save The Children's Rewrite the Future campaign as part of the jewellery brand's 125th birthday celebrations. Princess Michael of Kent and Natalie Imbruglia rubbed shoulders with Jacquetta Wheeler and Razorlight's Johnny Borrell as Bulgari ceo Francesco Trapani, Nicola Bulgari and Alexandra Shulman presented 18 one-of-a-kind jewels and watches that will go to auction at Christie's in New York in December. Champagne was sipped as diamonds twinkled in the eyes of the exclusive assembly and, as Razorlight performed a private set for Olga Kurylenko, Laura Bailey, the Geldof girls, Bill Nighy et al, Bulgari looked set to achieve their pledge to raise €10 million for Save the Children by the end of 2009.

Pop/Dance Music 2/10/09

Brummie quartet The Editors were amongst the wave of new, hip bands, including Franz Ferdinand, Zutons, Maximo Park, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and Razorlight, which stormed both the charts and indie club dancefloors back in 2005.
Some have since fared better than others, with ‘difficult' second albums and artistic differences diluting some of the bands' initial appeal.
Not so The Editors, who can count two platinum selling albums, a Brit Award and Mercury Music Prize nominations and sell out shows all over the UK amongst their credits during the past few years.
With their third LP release In This Light And On This Evening out later this week, the album's promotional tour kicks off at St George's Market on Wednesday and, despite selling out Belfast's Mandela Hall on two previous occasions, this date is set to be the longest gig the band have ever played in Northern Ireland. Fans can expect to hear plenty of new material, as well as past musical glories which should include their hit singles Munich and Blood. Tickets, priced at £22, are still available and support comes courtesy of Canadian indie rock five piece, Wintersleep.

Next album Razorlight 'want to work with Noel Gallagher'

Band say they 'need some northern cred'. Razorlight have suggested that Noel Gallagher should help produce their fourth studio album. Johnny Borrell's band, who are recently working on the follow up to 2008's 'Slipway Fires', have said that they are huge fans of the guitarist and songwriter, who currently split from Oasis."Maybe we should get Noel to produce the new Razorlight album. We're looking for a producer," bassist Carl Dalemo told The Mirror. "We want some northern cred!" he added.Meanwhile, Razorlight's new drummer David 'Skully' Sullivan Kaplan insists that he is fitting in well with the band, revealing that they are already working on new material."Within a week it felt like I'd been here for years," he said. "These guys are excellent, the music is so nice, they were very patient, encouraging and enthusiastic. It couldn't have been a better fit, actually. It's been really fun and we're already working on new material and playing new stuff live."

Slam 'shallow' X Factor Razorlight

Razorlight have poured scorn on The X Factor, branding it "shallow" and "brainless" entertainment.
New drummer David 'Scully' Sullivan Kaplan said: "It's just homogenised nonsense actually."
Bassist Carl Dalemo added: "It's very, very shallow entertainment of course every series there's going to be someone who is very good at what they do, like Leona Lewis or whatever, she's a very good singer, but all in all, I think it's fairly brainless entertainment."
The band, in Dublin for the Arthur's Day Guinness celebrations, protested they preferred "honest" music from talent that had not auditioned to appear on reality TV shows
Scully said: "Those gigs pander to utter mediocrity at best in my opinion. I don't think there's anything particular about them.
"Yes people have nice voices or they're handsome or whatever, and there's always that heart warming story, like the underdog is going to make it, and that's great but that doesn't entreaty to me.
"I'd rather (have) honest music from someone who's just grinding it out on their own, and is making nice music. Those shows don't actually do much for me."
Frontman Johnny Borrell was late for rehearsal for the band's Dublin gig after missing his flight.
He said: "It was fashion week I've been partying every night, but I think I might negociate a few more tonight."

The volunteers earned tickets to a monumental gig at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, September 25, starring rock band Razorlight and a host of other top acts including Kelly Rowland and Daniel Merriweather.The project is a partnership between the mobile phone company Orange and the production company RockCorps.Fr Niall Weir, the curate of St Paul's, said: "Their generous giving of their time has transformed this much used churchyard and that will be a real gift to the people of this area."I have no uncertainty that this enormous team of volunteers will be a great inspiration and example to us all of how time and talent freely and happily given can make the world a better place.

Razorlight roadie falls from bus

Razorlight almost missed a show after their roadie fell from their tour bus on the motorway.
The British band were heading for V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex, where they performed on Saturday, when the accident happened.
Lead singer Johnny Borrell told Absolute Radio: "I didn't personally have a drama at the festival, but as a whole Razorlight had a big drama. One of our roadies got dead drunk, and sort of fell out the door of the bus when it was moving along at 70 mph.
"I think it happened because when he got on the bus it wasn't moving and he was already drunk. The vehicle started going and a bit later he thought, 'OK, I'll get up and go and take a p**s around the corner,' not realizing it was on the road."
The man, known only as Frank, was rushed to a hospital, where he is said to be getting better well.
Borrell was not in the vehicle at the time of the occurrence but added those who were had to see Frank be rolled off the road to avoid oncoming traffic.

RazorLight’s Johnny Borrell: I Now Have The Band I Want

Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell has said he finally has the band he needs following the departure of drummer Andy Burrows. Burrows, who left in March of this year, was replaced by David Sullivan and Borrell has announced his accession has given a hike to the group.
“It was not at all certain that we were going to carry on. We had kind of rehearsed for it (Burrows’ departure) because we had absolutely the same case just after the first album, where Christian Smith-Pancorvo left, then Andy came in. But David fitted in right away. He’s a really great friends and an good drummer so it feels new and exciting.”“There’s no nonsense around at the moment, just people who want to make music,” he said. “We’ve done quite a few songs but it’s early days for titles.”
After their last album, ‘Slipway Fires‘, was poorly received by both fans and critics alike, Borrell has promised fans a different access when the band come back to the studio. “It’s back to the real basic team of the other four of us in a studio,” he explained. “‘Slipway Fires’ was like the art record and this will be absolutely change.”

Gloomy Johnny should cheer up

BY the look on his face it looks like JOHHNY BORRELL had a dangerous night.
The RAZORLIGHT frontman could hardly break a smile last night outside trendy London hotspot Mahiki.
But despite the glum chops, the singer licked up female attention and downed champers inside the club just moments before this picture.
Maybe he was upset none of the girls were as hot as ex-girlfriend KIRSTEN DUNST.

XFM signs Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell

When I was doing The Residency, I was making alliance between totally different artists from Iggy Pop, to Buju Banton, to Allen Ginsberg. I don't think there's any radio station in the world that would let me play those three artists, but I did it on Xfm! It’s going to be one hour each night of the songs they don't play on the radio."XFM’s group broadcast director, Paul Jackson added:“Following the brilliant feedback from Johnny’s appearances earlier this year we just knew we had to get him back for his own show.

Stars' pub launches music night

A pub made famous as a regular haunt of stars like Amy Winehouse and Razorlight singer Johnny Borrell has launched a regular live music night.
The Hawley Arms in Camden became known as the favoured hang-out of the north London celebrity set.
It was ravaged by fire in February 2008 but reopened in November.
The Rumble Strips, whose second album was produced by Mark Ronson, headlined the first of a monthly series of gigs, organised by a former barmaid.
Future nights promise big name bands and "special guests only the Hawley could conjure up".
The first gig, on Monday, was watched by 250 fans and raised money for the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy charity.

History of Razorlight

Razorlight shaped in London in 2002 around vocalist/guitarist Johnny Borrell and guitarist/vocalist and Swedish ex-pat Björn Ågren. Attached by bassist Carl Dalemo and drummer Christian Smith-Pancorvo, the combo recorded some near the beginning demos at London's Toe Rag studios, and those songs led to radio experience and the first stirrings of hype.

Mercury Records signed Razorlight in 2003, and the group began recording their debut in between a series of hectic club gigs, working with U2 and The La's cohort, Steve Lillywhite. Lillywhite soon left the project, but Razorlight sustained to write and record their album while still wowing audiences with a spate of live dates, including a physically powerful showing at the 2004 South by Southwest industry fest.

At this point, drummer Smith-Pancorvo quit the group and was soon swaped by Andy Burrows. Reconfigured, Razorlight launched their debut album , Up ALl Night in August 2004. The launch was hailed for its stylish, fizzy mix of The Strokes' sensibilities and post-Britpop cool. Far from hiding their needs to reach commercial success, greater shows with the likes of Queen/Paul Rodgers and Oasis showcased Razorlight to a wider viewers.
The group's increasing demands hit significant mass on their second, self-titled album. Produced by Chris Thomas (INXS, The Pretenders), it generates a number one in the form of America (a Burrows and Borrell co-write), saw them get on a UK arena tour and headling the Reading/Leeds Festival in 2007.

Razorlight went with new drummer to US

Razorlight have performed the first gig on their US tour exclusive of Andy Burrows. Burrows declared he had quit Razorlight last week. Despite statements from both parties telling the split was friendly, gossips since have alluded to a rift between the drummer and the group’s frontman, Johnny Borrell.
The group had stated they would complete their touring promises with New York native and former Men, Women & Children drummer, David Sullivan Kaplan. Kaplan had also taken to the kit when Burrows strangely pulled out of a show in Wolverhampton in recent times.
The group performed their first New York date at the Hiro Ballroom on March 10. Here’s footage of the new-look Razorlight below.

Razorlight Wire to Wire Lyrics and video

What is love but the strangest of feelings?
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life?
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you, until your eyes run dry

She lives on disillusion road
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar
Love me, wherever you are

How do you love with fate full of rust?
How do you turn what the savage take?
You've been looking for someone you can trust
Who will love you, again and again

How do you love in a house without feelings?
How do you turn what that savage take?
I've been looking for someone to believe in
Love me, again and again

She lives by disillusions close
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies, we share the same scar

How do you love on a night without feelings?
She says "love, I hear sound, I see fury"
She says "love's not a hostile condition"
Love me, wherever you are

Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are
Wherever you are
