Carl Dalemo

Carl Gustaf Dalemo was the bassist of the Anglo-Swedish band Razorlight. In his native Lidköping, Sweden, he wrote songs, sang and played guitar with different bands, most notably Lo-Fi outfit Spiral Stairs. Shortly after arriving in England in the summer of 2002, he was called by a friend, the guitarist Björn Ågren, who suggested that he try out for the band he was playing in. Carl had never played bass until he arrived at a Razorlight rehearsal, but his tasteful, subtly melodic playing immediately provided a solid bottom end for the band, allowing Ågren, drummer Christian Smith Pancorvo (later replaced by Andy Burrows) and singer/songwriter Johnny Borrell an unusual rhythmic and melodic freedom.

He is also a keyboard player, and played a Mellotron M400 at Razorlight's gig at Live 8.

He was once famously arrested during a May Day demonstration for urinating on Whitehall.
