Klaxons @ the 7th st.entry
What a night!!! One of the best nights I've had in a while. The Party started with DJ Soviet Panda. 2 hours was a little long, and to be honest I was hoping for another classic Brit band. But this DJ definitely played some solid tunes.. Moving to the Klaxons, I must say I really knew nothing about this guys.. I was just hoping they wouldn't be a bust like Hard-Fi. They were very loud, packed the entry, got everyone dancing, all while sounding great. With a nice share of vocals from the Keyboard player and the bassist, this band kept the night live. They dedicated a tune to Prince and always checked to make sure the crowd was on their feet. Klaxons are no Libertines, Strokes, or Arctic Monkeys but believe me they are very talented and understand how to rock out with the young fans.. Some more proof, my 14 year old brother bought the whole album on itunes, and are making some appearances on MTV. Keep watch on the Klaxons..
Here They are at Entry...

NME chose these guys as best new band for 2007 - and they are right!
Hard-fi are fantastic, one of the better current London bands.
Well done Brody
bahaha
sorry but the NME is a terrible rag and any serious music fan in the UK doesn't take them seriously whatsoever. they're even worse than Rolling Stone & SPIN over here.
what people from the US don't realize is that the majority of it's readers are 14-16
No magazine in the US or UK has an 100% perfect track record, they all have their flaws.
NME excells at covering newer, emerging bands. Sometimes blatently wrong in their opinions,
but they were right very early in covering and promoting Blur, Oasis, The Arctic Monkeys and North American
Arcade Fire.
sorry to join the NME debate...i don't want to encourage this.
they do have an eye and it is worth glancing through even if only to gleam names of bands that are either great bands or are going to be big.
that said, i saw klaxons in chicago @ schuba's and it was a wonderful show but i've seen them twice before, and i must say they had a lot more energy/reckless stage presence last year...
but very good none the less.
