So nu-rave they ain't nu-rave no more trio Klaxons - DiS received a copy of their album from the States this week, which is mental 'cause we reviewed it ages ago - have told Radio 1 that they'll play two sets at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
Jamie Reynolds - is he the one from Bournemouth? Probably not - told the station:
"We've got something really special up our sleeve for Glastonbury. We've got a whole new project on the go for the dance tent on the Friday night... it's going to be a big one."
The 'big one' is, apparently, "this sort of huge, big noise psychedelic wig out". There are a few wig shops on Stroud Green Road, over Finsbury Park way. I wonder if they have anything to do with this Glasto plan?
Nope. In addition to the dance tent on Friday night, Klaxons also play somewhere else at another time. We can't tell you anything more than that. So there.
they're so average
they're alright
their cover of It's Not Over Yet is grrreat, but Golden Skans = Hard-Fi. go figure.
yep
^
I sincerely
wish they'd stop.
I'm not into them at all.
Maybe I'm old. Or just shit.
no you are right
they are quite acutely embarrassing
worst gastonbury ever
scince the ear coldplay and rod stewart and the stereophonics headlined (first one i went too) the lineup gets worse and worse.
GASHtonbury?
Arcade fire?
2003 was ace. the one with Radiohead, Mogwai, Sigur ros etc.

Not that bad
Klaxons aren't all that bad. Myths...isn't that bad, its got alot of catchy songs and only a few are poor. They, like so many other bands [Arctic Monkeys for one] have just suffered from too much hype. They're just one of the many sufferers of being raped by the NME.
Plus Nu-Rave is just wrong. They are not nu-rave or even vaugely raveish. They just make catchy songs.
But playing glasto twice? Just trying to be a bit show off-y really.
Who did
It's Not Over Yet originally? I quite like it.
Grace
A dance act from the '90s
Paul Oakenfold
wrote it, but not sure if he actually performed it.
Words: Mike Diver
Comedy: Non-existent
Stop it man you're killing it.
I really liked
Myths Of The Near Future the first time I heard it. Then I listened to it twice and thought it was good. Then by the time the third listen came round I was bored, does anyone else find the instant catchiness results in no longevity?
shocking
kids are far too arrogant these days...i won't be watching them there twice, i'll make a special effort to definietly see them once to make a stand.
