British multi-instrumentalist
Andy Burrows, born June 30, 1974, is chiefly known as the drummer for
Razorlight, replacing the band's original drummer,
Christian Smith-Pancorvo, in 2004.
Razorlight were formed in London in 2002 around vocalist/guitarist
Johnny Borrell and guitarist/vocalist and Swedish ex-pat
Björn Ågnen, and with
Burrows on board, and with
Carl Dalemo on bass, the combo recorded its official album debut,
Up All Night, in August 2004. The band's second album, a self-titled effort produced by
Chris Thomas (
INXS,
the Pretenders), arrived in summer 2006.
Burrows used his down time from the band to record a solo album in his bedroom, playing all the instruments and basing the songs around a book of poetry by an old family friend. The resulting album,
Colour of My Dreams, was released by Razorlight's label, Mercury Records, in 2008. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
