Klaxons reveal Sonic Youth as their biggest influence.

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 08:23 AM

Just heard them say this on the radio. Are they any good?

_slavo_ · 02.27.2007, 08:30 AM

Sonic Youth are a pretty decent band.

I had that radio thing for awhile too. Now I take Seroquel.

klaxons rule

raging_nelly · 02.27.2007, 10:06 AM

Yeah, Klaxons are alright... can't really see the Sonic Youth influence in em tho...

But yeah, I've been to see em and they are really just a fun band, even if the music aint your thing you can still have a proper good time

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 10:12 AM

It seems like one of the members is really into stuff like James Chance and even mentioned 8 Eyed Spy in the interview.

connie kreski · 02.27.2007, 10:35 AM

i couldn't imagine a worst thing than a klaxons record produced by albini...
it could've been not too bad but everything they've done sound so empty.
it's the reason why they maybe need such a flashy scenery. oh well, they
are funny.

porkmarras · 02.27.2007, 10:59 AM

Did they?I like a few of their tunes.Has anyone heard the album and if so,what is it like?

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 11:00 AM

The fact that one member is almost totally blind is apparantly the reason why their stage sets are so flashy. I suppose it must help him know where he is on stage.

porkmarras · 02.27.2007, 11:01 AM

Oh but blindness is all the rage amongst kids these days,innit?

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 11:03 AM

Yeah, blind is the new deaf. It said so in the NME. (I obviously had to get someone to read it for me, being blind myself)

The Klaxons are my new favourite band I think. I'm gonna buy one of their T shirts later so whenever I walk down the street people will look and think, hey that guy must have awesome taste in music. After all, that looks like a Klaxons T shirt he's wearing.

porkmarras · 02.27.2007, 11:09 AM

Day-glo clothes makeover and you'll be perfect for the new rave craze!

demonrail666 · 02.27.2007, 11:12 AM

do day-glo clothes 'glo' at night too?

porkmarras · 02.27.2007, 11:13 AM

I think so.

tesla69 · 02.27.2007, 11:32 AM

if Albini is involved it must be lame.

porkmarras · 02.27.2007, 11:34 AM

Has Steve Albini produced the album?I didn't know that.

no, i don't think. i'm not clear... i meant : klaxons sounds lame to me but
it could have been worst (because of an hypothetical albini production for
example).

anyway, forget that.

nicfit · 02.27.2007, 12:13 PM

I wonder when people will realize that recording is steve albini's work, he'd record even my farts if I pay enough. The fact that he's a producer of an album does not imply that he likes that artist/that music.
