Razorlight are on top form on Saturday at T in the ParkT in the Park 2009 reviewWednesday 15th July 2009 Perceived by some as a self-important narcissist, Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell allows his band to take to The Main Stage and delays his own entrance by a good minute, lapping up the acclaim.
'Keep The Right Profile' is dealt with in similarly urgent fashion and Borrell tears through the chorus, howling the line "It's a wonderful life" over and over. The Blondie-like bassline of 'In The Morning' bursts into a grand, anthemic wonder before a perfect run-through of the galloping 'Stumble And Fall' replete with those thundering drums fills. The tempo is briefly slipped down a notch for the Kinksy 'North London Trash', Borrell demonstrating the surprisingly varied and powerful vocal range he possesses to perform the song with a snarling, bluesy feel.
They rip through more material from the first album, in the shape of 'In the City', 'Vice', and 'Don't Go Back To Dalston' and they look like a band invigorated, hungry and on top form. 'Somewhere Else' builds to a glorious, pompous conclusion with it's pleading, desperate chorus finding plenty of sympathy with a, by now large, crowd, and Razorlight depart, presumably satisfied with a job very well done. review by Gary Walker photos by Steve Palmer
