I thought the below comments sum up Razorlight better than me, I hope that it gives a better feel.

Razorlight formed in London in 2002 around vocalist/guitarist Johnny Borrell and guitarist/vocalist and Swedish ex-pat Björn Ågnen. Joined by bassist Carl Dalemo and drummer Christian Smith-Pancorvo, the combo recorded some early demos at London’s Toe Rag studios, and those songs led to radio exposure and the initial stirrings of hype.

Mercury Records signed Razorlight in 2003, and the group began recording their debut in between a series of hectic — and increasingly buzzed about — club gigs, working with no less an authority than Steve Lillywhite. Lillywhite soon left the project, but Razorlight continued to write and record their album while still wowing audiences with a spate of live dates, including a strong showing at the 2004 South by Southwest industry fest. At this point drummer Smith-Pancorvo left the group, but he was soon replaced by Andy Burrows. Thus reconfigured, Razorlight made their official album debut in August 2004 with Up All Night. The release was hailed for its stylish, fizzy mix of Strokes sensibilities and post-Britpop cool.

Razorlight will be proforming at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Saturday 9th May 2009 – 7.30pm

This Northern Irish and Scottish Alternative rock band should feel comfortable at the MEN Arena. One of their most well know songs was Signal Fire which featured and written for Spider-man 3 and reached number 4 in the UK charts.

have been nominated for three BRIT Awards and have won five Meteor Ireland Music Awards. Worldwide, the band have sold over 7 million albums.

The band will be preforming on the 7th March and tickets will be available from here and I am sure they will be playing the critically acclaimed Chasing Cars, video below.

Kaiser Chiefs are crossing the Pennine border to play at the MEN Arena on 7th March 2009 for 1 day only so tickets will be in short supply for this Indie Rock band, although for me more like New Wave, well that’s the era of music I was fed on.

Still they will promoting their relatively new Album Off with their Heads.

Personally I prefer bands that don’t follow the crowd.

Tickets available from TicketMaster.
