A Coachella Alphabet: Klaxons

Klaxons

Name: Klaxons
Genre: Indie
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Klaxons are an English band, currently based in London, with a large underground following. The word ‘klaxon’ derives from the Greek verb klaz?, meaning “to shriek, and most commonly refers to air-raid sirens or other warning devices. The core band members hail from the provincial UK towns of Stratford-Upon-Avon (James Righton and Simon Taylor) and Bournemouth (Jamie Reynolds). The band’s debut album Myths of the Near Future was released on January 29, 2007 following the release of single “Golden Skans” on January 22 of the same year.”

LIE TOUCH MY HANDS AS WE DREAM OF GOLDEN SKANS OHH WOAH OHH, YOU CAN FORGET OUR FUTURE PLANS! I can’t tell you how hooked I am on that song. Despite Klaxons being more style then substance with their post-modern clothing, supernatural based lyrics and out-their videos, the trio make very entertaining music that just get you up and moving. Clashing electro with indie rock, they manage to create a sound that is both unique and intriguing, and leaves you hungry for more.? I can’t get enough of them.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: One of the sure things.
