It's da sound of da police!
So, in continuation of my Vice Party documentation, I would like to introduce to you The Klaxons, who are a fairly new London band making music that makes you want to jump around and go crazy. The NME have tried to market it as the new, cool thing because all their boring urchin bands are imploding, and now, not one's to miss out on what's what, The Guardian are writing about it, it's NEW RAVE, so called because we've already had Nu-Wave and No-Wave and New Wave and Old Rave and sometimes you just need to give the inexplicably good things in life a name, otherwise how will people namedrop it at dinnerparties, right? Exactly. The Klaxons play an energetic blend of souped-up melodic indie basically, it's really poppy with some really danceable beats and spiky guitar lines. It has elements of the mid-90s trance that I unashamedly liked when I was 12, but most central to their exciting sound is simply an ear for a good dancey tune. Forget these silly labels.
The scene which it comes from is perhaps what's really creating the most A&R hubbub - there are squatparties, arts collectives, illegal parties, people are having fun without paying £10 to get into shitty corporate indie clubs and spending £3 on a plastic beaker of flat Carling and this is worrying the bigwigs. So expensive raves are now being put on, like Vice magazine's ill-fated Tales of the Jackelope festival to bring it to everyone. I'm moving back to London in 3 weeks and I hope that there are still exciting parties so that I have some semblence of the Berlin nightlife to get me through my final year. The names on everyone's lips are !wowow! who put on many of the parties and Teens of Thailand, who I think are DJs. I'm sure there's more, but that's all my surface-skim has revealed.
The Klaxons are a really good live-band, they wear brightly coloured clothes, theres lots of jumping, pointing, pulling shapes, playing keyboards. They are all very young and very nice chaps. Go over to their MySpace to get some FREE LEGAL downloads of their songs. You really won't regret it.
