yep i saw them at the oxford zodiac in the end and it was the best gig ever

sh*tdisco really impressed me

and klaxons even more

i thought it would be a really sloppy, new band kind of performance but it turned out to be really pounding and there was never a dull moment

new rave is with us

Picked up the Xan Valleys EP earlier today. Sure I had all the songs already, but it's nice to have them all in one convenient package. Plus the idiot who originally leaked the "Atlantis to Interzone (Crystal Castles Mix)" recorded it at 33 RPM, which is a real shame since it sounds excellent at regular speed.

Great band, anyway, lots of fun, blah, blah, blah, [insert more praise here]...

To be honest there are a bunch of bands that sound just like Klaxons in that whole Nu-Rave bunch, Klaxons are just the biggest and the best (IMO). And what with all the Doherty backlash, I think we'll finally see the end of all those Libertines wannabes.

yes the nu-rave movement has become the new trend, but its a trend thats exciting and original, who would of enivaged the day when 60s garage rock meets early 90s rave? And i love the libertines, they were a band that, like the klaxons, freshened up the scene. Incidently, i think datarock are better than the klaxons.

I don't think the Libertines really freshened up the scene. All they really influenced were a bunch of sub-par bands who sound just like them. As for the Nu Rave being exciting and original, it's basically Dance Punk with Rave instead of Disco. Probably won't last, anyway. :/

And I don't really associate Datarock and Klaxons with each other, but I still think Klaxons are better.

didnt refresh the scene? tell me,. who was setting british music alight before the libs? im talking 1-3 years before. And datarock have a smiliar root in dance music with that added bit of aggression and rock influence. Much like the Klaxons.
