All About Klaxons
A chance to get below the surface of DJs, events & clubs
Klaxons exploded onto the music scene in a dayglo burst of punk riffs, all out hedonism and classic British art school conceptual cheek. With their debut album Jamie Reynolds, Simon Taylor and James Righton look set to prove that they’re more than just a flash in the pan, a London media fad and an excuse to froth about ‘new rave’. The lads from Bournemouth and Stratford-upon-Avon have come good with eleven tracks that rocket by in thirty-five minutes emanating more energy than nuclear fission. Decipher it, dance to it, or just enjoy its formidable vigour, but one thing is certain; Klaxons have arrived and are going to be hard to ignore.
The Klaxons have unfortunately postponed their Australia tour in August, but you can stay up to date on all the new developments by joining their mailing list HERE.
