Håvard Lothe Lauritsen

(født 31. desember 1982) er en norsk musiker og frontfigur i Håvard Lothe Band som ga ut sitt første musikkalbum, Live In Concert i 2007.

Historie

Håvard Lothe kommer fra Florø. Etter fullført videregående skole flyttet han til Liverpool i England, for å studere musikk på Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. I Håvard Lothes opphold i Liverpool fikk han gjort en liten intim konsert for Sir Paul McCartney etter at han snek seg inn til McCartney med gitaren sin og spurte om han kunne få lov til å spille noen låter for ham.

Etter tre år i Liverpool flyttet Håvard til Bergen, og signerte platekontrakt med plateselskapet Reel Noise. I slutten av oktober 2006 var han med på NRKs store lørdags satsing, Kjempesjansen, der han fikk nest mest stemmer fra innringerne. Elisabeth Moberg fra Kvinner på randen gjorde også en duett med Håvard i forbindelse med en veldedighetskonsert i mars 2007.

Debutalbumet «Live in Concert» ble sluppet 3. september 2007.

Håvard stiftet band høsten 2007 og det var med dette bandet han gav ut sitt andre album, «Dorian Grey» 31. august 2009. Før lanseringsturneen i Norge var Håvard og bandet i Kina og spilte for 40 000 mennesker under 11th Asia Arts Festival.

Singelen «Oceans Between» fra «Dorian Grey» har vunnet flere priser, bl.a. Luttprisen 2009 - Årets artist i Sogn og Fjordane og Fylkestoppen 2009 i Sogn og Fjordane.

Hailed back in the '90s as the UK's answer to Metallica, after two kick-ass all out thrash albums Xentrix attempted a reinvention before being left by the wayside two decades ago, thanks to the rise of grunge.

Speaking to Hammer recently, guitarist and chief songwriter Kristian ‘Stan’ Havard revealed: "It really did feel like we were heading onwards and upwards in the early days.

"On the second album in particular, we got to go to Europe and play with Annihilator. We were on a tour bus, so we’d made it! We were set for life and we’d be rich beyond our wildest dreams! Obviously that didn’t really happen, but it was still a great time. It all happened so quickly, and it was strange how quickly it all stopped.”

The Greatest Day

I close my eyes
Just to momentarily clearly realise
My life is about to change and I like it
For the better, for the better

Oh, it will be beautiful
Hear me singing
Oh, delight and colourful
For the reasons that I've shown
It's gonna be the best day ever known
And a good life, and a great life
Starting from today

So take me home
To a revolution evolution song
My life has been changing, I like it
For the better, for the better

Oh, it will be beautiful
Hear me singing
Oh, delight and colourful
For the reasons that I've shown
It's gonna be the best day ever known
And a good life, and a great life
Starting now

Don't you know, time to go
Close the door, it's everything you've waited for
Don't be scared, follow through
Too little time, too much to do
Do it all, standing tall
The greatest day

The greatest day
It's been the greаteѕt

Håvard Lothe Band

Håvard Lothe Band consist of 5 guys; Erlend Mongstad, Thomas Frøyen, Torstein Mongstad, Werner Bryen and leadsinger Håvard Lothe. They released their debut album in 2007 with the second one following in 2009. Should they end up winning Melodi Grand Prix it won’t be the first time they will be performing abroad as the band played at a big festival in China in 2009 where they experienced how it was to be treated like a big star as they were staying at a luxery hotel, were picked up in limoshines and had bodyguard protection during their entire stay. The song is about the sweet 9 months waitingtime before a man becomes a father.

The song is written by Håvard Lothe, who was writing about his own feelings as his wife was carrying their first child.

He continues: “As soon as the scene started to die, there was nothing left. Sabbat went, Onslaught went, Acid Reign went… there was nobody left and everyone started to do other things like going funky or whatever.

"We tried to change as well. We tried to make ourselves more accessible, maybe, and to be cleverer in our songwriting, but it didn’t really work for us. But it’s easy to look back and say that, isn’t it?”"

But all's well that ends well, and the the Lancashire thrashers are back, with a new vocalist (original Xentrix megafan, Jay Walsh) and a brand spanking new album – their first record in 23 years – Bury The Pain, and it's exactly what hardcore, old-school fans could have asked for.

The band comments: "The first Xentrix promo video for over 25 years features the band playing in the woods black heart of Northern England. We really wanted the video to introduce everyone to new singer Jay Walsh."
