2009 Concert Reviews: V Festival Melbourne - RAZORLIGHT

I'm back with Razorlight's set. I got a bit distracted with a few other things so I couldn't get it up right away. I have to say they are an awesome band and I was really into them about 5 yrs. ago but I got distracted with a number of other Brit bands e.g. the Kaisers who I honestly thought were better.

However, seeing them now reminded me why I liked them in the first place. I was a big fan of 'Up All Night' and 'America' from the second album but that was really it. I don't know any of the songs from their latest 'Slipway Fires' which was released at the end of 2008 but luckily they played a lot of their older stuff which got the most cheers anyways. I went nuts like a real fan girl when they played 'Golden Touch' and 'Up All Night'...it made me very happy. Johnny Borrell is an excellent front man...heaps of charisma and just the good ole' dirty rock and roll attitude. The rest of the band were in top form so Johhny could do his thing but I do think a lot of their sounds similar and that is maybe why I haven't been so interested in what they were up to. But I do reccommend that you see them live as they certainly deliver on stage. Should I get the new record? Can anyone tell me if it is worth getting?

Overall, totallly worth seeing but I guess I would have said the same thing if I had been to the Kills instead who I'm sad I missed but I did not want to give up our second row spots. Well photos below... KAISER CHIEFS NEXT!!!!!!!

V Festival 2009

Yo, I am heading off to the V Festival this Sat and am super excitied...yay for me and boo for you...nah, just kidding. I will review the sets of the bands I actually see. In case you didn't know the line up it is as follows...

The Killers
Duffy
Razorlight
Madness
The Human League
The Kills
Kaiser Chiefs
Elbow
Snow Patrol
..and many others...

I will probably be missing the Kills who I really want to see but my bro who will be with me wants to see Razorlight...ohhh...the decisions! This is the problem with festivals there will always be some band you will miss. I probably will miss Human League too as I want to be front and center for The Killers. Anyways, watch this space as I'll post piccies and video (if you are lucky)!
