Get Out: Klaxons Tonight @ Chop Suey

British band The Klaxons started to receive attention almost immediately after their debut 2006 singles, as is prone to happen in the buzz-happy UK. The rock outfit is decidedly arty but catchy, hailed as champions of the "new rave" movement, a response to their citing influence by early rave culture. Thankfully, the "movement" never caught on Stateside, although the hipster set has all too willingly adopted neon back into their wardrobes. Despite that association, Klaxons have been touring non-stop since the release of their debut album, Myths of the Near Future, which doesn't smack of that rave influence other than in some of the song's energy and hints of psychedelia. It's worth ignoring the hype and simply taking the music at face value, since The Klaxons have produced a collection of songs that stand on their own.

You'd do well to buy advance tickets or show up early (doors at 7pm), since this show is all ages and on the way to selling out.
