'Fraid not - Raz seemed to vanish around 1995 and I've no idea whatever became of him.
I've mentioned his name a few times on here in the old days & a few folks knew him (Daz, Andii etc) but no-one seemed to know where he ended up. I never even saw any pictures of him when we was doing Kandy Bang. He's the Lord Lucan of UK glam.
Jesus, did I just see a mention of Mansel Storme Band? Top lad Mansel, Loaned Rich Rags his flat for a whole week and didnt some much as raise an eyebrow when me and Johnny B kicked his front door in. Mansels bass player got nicked on a DD and was subsequently hauled off to clink with the flat keys
Id love to know what become of that lot.

At some point during '96, Raz's girlfriend hooked
up with some biker and kicked him out of that
zoo for beleaguered animals he lived in (the
rottweiler eventually ate the german shepherd).
He was - and Tim, don't laugh - The Barbican's
head chef for a while.
Towards the end of the nineties, he drifted back
to Scotland, and during some of his more
darker moments, he'd write Andii letters saying
stuff like: 'If you don't reply to this within 4
days, I'm gonna kill myself.'
And no, he wasn't 'well respected'. He was an
opportunistic, shit-stirring cunt.
The last Andii heard from him was around 2000.
Then again, Andii's disappeared too. I left a
few voice- and emails for him as recently as
a few weeks ago, but, he never calls, he never
writes, etc.
Speaking of which: Ian, we need to talk.

Thanks for that. I was aware that his missus shacked up with a biker cos they booked my next band The Ex-Boyfriends at The Barbican & it all turned nasty when our crowd of 1 showed up! We suddenly found that we had to play 3 sets & then didn't get paid. Our rooms suddenly were unavailable & we practically got chased out the venue!
I heard from Raz briefly when he was in Scotland living with his Dad but that was 6yrs ago. He was always alright by me but I know different people see different sides of each other. I think a couple of the characters that I knew (Jay Silk, Andi Chase etc) weren't to everyone's taste (tactful?) & there were always horror stories about loads of individuals. I think I came out of it as one of the few people with no real enemies to speak of! ha! ha!
Band v. band bollox is never here nor there really.
Someone like Raz, though, feeling bitter about not
being able to get into a band in the first place, is
something else, something forever slightly vengeful.
Maybe he did 'make it' though? Maybe he's now some
sort of myspace goddess with a trillion 'friends'?
I hope so.
