I've seen a few good bands tank under the pressure of their US debut (Jet for example) and some kill (the Rakes) so I wasn't sure what I was in for with the Klaxons late night showcase for their new label Modular.

Turns out the guys are pretty good - they're being hyped by the UK media as "New Rave" but live the band was more on the rocking side and reminded me of the Prodigy a bit (but way less bombastic & more poppy). The steamy basement of Club Midway was packed with excited partygoers & curious media types but the band didn't seem nervous at all & played a tight, focused set filled with crowd moving party songs.

If you missed this show the Klaxons are playing another one on in NYC Thursday 9/21 at Studio B in Brooklyn before heading off on their world tour to promote their new recording “Xan Valleys”.
