Klaxons is a band from London, England with a large underground following. Their debut single, "Gravity's Rainbow" was released in April 2006 on Angular Records. Only 500 copies were released on 7" vinyl decorated by the band themselves. The band's second single, "Atlantis to Interzone" was the first release for new label Merok and led to further coverage in the NME and even had BBC Radio 1 daytime play from Jo Whiley, who repeatedly, and mistakenly, called the song "Atlantis To Interscope".In 2006, they signed to Polydor Records. Their first single for the label, "Magick", was released on October 30th, 2006 and reached 29 in the UK top 40 the following week . The band have recorded tracks for their debut album with James Ford. Titled Myths of the Near Future, this album released on January 29th 2007 following current single "Golden Skans", which was physically released on January 22nd 2007.In August 2006, the Klaxons played at the Reading and Leeds festivals, playing in the Carling tent on each festival site. The Carling tent, at both festivals, is the smallest stage and as a result large numbers of people were forced to watch from outside the tent. Fans sounded "Klaxons!" and cheered loudly between songs, brandishing glo-sticks, seemingly giving credit to the "new rave" bandwagon label. This term was coined by Angular Records founder Joe Daniel and later used by NME to describe the burgeoning scene.In Autumn 2006 the Tate Modern invited a selection of musicians to compose pieces of music inspired by a piece of art in the museum. The first track to go online was The Chemical Brothers' musical interpretation of Jacob Epstein's 'The Rock Drill'. Future tracks were from Roll Deep, Graham Coxon, Estelle, The Landscapers, The Long Blondes, and Union of Knives - each on their own chosen piece.They headline the NME indie rave tour starting in February 2007. The London date at Hammersmith Palais sold out in 2 days. They have also had promising early success in Europe, Japan and Australia selling out tours in November 2006. They are managed by the Tony Beard.They recently completed a remix of "Trick Or Treatz" by Metronomy.On January 24th, the Klaxons performed on the UK BBC Radio One Live Lounge, performing current single Golden Skans and a cover of Justin Timberlake's "My Love," to great apraisal from disc jockey Jo Whiley.
