Razorlight To Play Huge London Gig This Summer

March 15, 2011
Razorlight To Play Huge London Gig This SummerRazorlight are set to play a huge headline gig in London this summer.

The band announced details about the show – but stopped short of confirming any further information – in a video message.

“London gigs have become homecoming gigs for the band, and that's probably one of the best things I've ever experienced,” frontman Johnny Borrell said.

Razorlight are currently putting the finishing touches to their new album, which will be their first with their new line-up.

Borrell is now the only original remaining member of the band following departure of Bjorn Agren and Carl Dalemo. Drummer Andy Burrows quit in 2008.

All three former members have been replaced by Gus Robertson on guitar, Freddie Stitz on bass and Skully on drums.
