Klaxons are a British indie rock band, based in London. Following the release of numerous 7-inch singles on different independent record labels, as well as the success of previous singles "Magick" and "Golden Skans", the band released their debut album, ''Myths of the Near Future'' on 29 January 2007. The album won the 2007 Nationwide Mercury Prize. After playing festivals and headlining tours worldwide (including the NME Indie Rave Tour) during late 2006–2007, the band started working on their follow-up album in July 2007. Klaxons' second album, ''Surfing the Void'', was released on 23 August 2010.

History

Formation (2005–2006)

Jamie Reynolds grew up in Bournemouth and Southampton. He dropped out of studying philosophy at Greenwich University to work in a record shop, before moving to London after being made redundant. Simon Taylor-Davis and James Righton grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon, meeting at Stratford-upon-Avon High School. The trio formed in New Cross, London, after meeting through Reynolds' girlfriend. Righton had been working as a teacher at the time.

James taught Simon how to play guitar, and with Reynolds' redundancy money they purchased a studio kit. They recorded and performed live under their early guise of "Klaxons (Not Centaurs)", a quote from Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's futurism text ''The Futurist Manifesto''. Initially the band played with drummer Finnigan Kidd in 2005, until Kidd left to play with fellow New Cross band, Hatcham Social. Replacement live drummer Steffan Halperin joined in February 2006, with the band announcing him as an official member in an interview in Prefix Magazine in early 2007. He remains mostly absent from the band's music videos, appearing only in the early video "Atlantis to Interzone" and briefly in the 2007 re-release of "Gravity's Rainbow". Around this time, the band began playing under their new, shortened name of Klaxons.

''Myths of the Near Future'' (2006–2008)

Klaxons' debut single, "Gravity's Rainbow" was released in March 2006 on Angular Records. Only 500 copies were released; all were printed on a 7-inch vinyl decorated by the band themselves. Radio 1's Steve Lamacq was the first DJ to play the band, and invited them to play a Maida Vale Studios live session on the strength of the single. The band's second single, "Atlantis to Interzone", was released on 12 June of the same year. It was their first release for independent record label Merok Records, and led to further coverage in ''NME'' magazine. The song enjoyed radio coverage from Zane Lowe and daytime airings from Jo Whiley, who repeatedly, and mistakenly, called the song "Atlantic To Interscope". Zane Lowe also wrongly credited the song as "Atlantis To Interscope". They released their first EP, ''Xan Valleys'', on 17 October 2006. It was released on Australian record label Modular Recordings, and contained their first two singles alongside various remixes. The band played their first North American dates in New York's East Village in October 2006.

The band signed to Polydor Records in August 2006, following offers from numerous different record labels. Regarding the fee amount, James Righton said that it was "absurdly off the mark", and that the band signed for considerably less on the condition they would be given their own label imprint, Rinse Records. Their first single for the label, "Magick", was released on 30 October 2006 and reached #29 in the UK Top 40 the following week.

In August 2006, Klaxons played at the Reading and Leeds festivals. Fans sounded "Klaxons!" and cheered loudly between songs while brandishing glowsticks. This gave credit to the "New Rave" label, coined by Angular Records' founder Joe Daniel; later used by ''NME'' magazine to describe the scene. Also in August, the Klaxons performed an acoustic set in Ibiza Weekend for UK's BBC Radio 1 at Ibiza Rocks festival with Zane Lowe.

The first single from their debut album, "Golden Skans", was released on 22 January 2007. It reached #16 in the UK Singles Chart on download sales alone, two weeks before the official release of the CD. It climbed to #14 the next week, eventually peaking at #7 after the CD release. On 24 January Klaxons performed on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, performing "Golden Skans" and a cover version of Justin Timberlake's "My Love". The band then released "It's Not Over Yet", a cover of a song originally by Grace. The track included the "My Love" cover as a B-side, and peaked at #13 in the UK Singles Chart.

Their debut album, titled ''Myths of the Near Future'', was released on 29 January 2007. It entered the UK Album Charts at #2, behind Norah Jones's album ''Not Too Late''. Percussion and drumming on the album was provided by the album's producer James Ford, with live drummer Halperin recording on "Atlantis to Interzone".

On 1 October 2007, the band released ''A Bugged Out Mix'', a double album featuring 27 tracks mixed by Reynolds.

Klaxons singled out a new song that has strong progressive rock influences as a guide to one possible direction the album may go in, revealed recently ''NME'' magazine. Guitarist Simon Taylor said, "We wanna make something that's bigger and softer and louder and lo-fi and heavier produced - just lots of contradictions. I think it's gonna be like the last record but swollen. We've been listening to a lot of European prog music, and dubstep, and dance and folk. A huge broad variety of things really. There's one track we've been playing in soundcheck, it's this massive prog opus."

Klaxons performed with the singer Rihanna on her song "Umbrella" which had "Golden Skans" mixed into the background during the Brit Awards 2008 held in London on 20 February 2008.

Klaxons won 'Best Album' at the 2008 NME Awards held at London's IndigO₂ Arena on 28 February 2008. This followed having won 'Best New Band' the previous year. Klaxons also won 'Best International Album' and 'Best International Track' for "Golden Skans" at the first American NME awards, which were held in Los Angeles, California.

''Surfing the Void'' (2007–present)

Talk of a second album began in November 2007, during the band's UK winter tour. Influences include dubstep, dance and folk music. The band was featured on Steve Aoki's debut album ''Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles'', contributing the Soulwax remix of "Gravity's Rainbow" for its release in January 2008. They made their live return with a series of gigs in Europe and South America during October 2008, debuting two new tracks, "Valley of the Calm Trees" and "Moonhead". In an interview with ''NME'' magazine in November, the band confirmed they were heading to France to record with James Ford, aiming to be completed by December for release in early 2009. The band made an appearance at Modular Records's NeverEverLand festival that toured around Australia in December 2008.

At the beginning of 2009, the band played a small club show at Madame Jojo's in London, their first in the capital since the ''NME'' Big Gig the previous year. During the set, the band featured new songs "Imaginary Pleasures" and "In Silver Forest", together with the previously aired "Moonhead" and "Valley of the Calm Trees". In March 2009, it was reported that the band had been told to re-record parts of their second album, after it was rejected by label Polydor. ''The Sun'' newspaper confirmed that the label deemed it "too experimental" for release, with Reynolds stating that "...we've made a really dense, psychedelic record" and that "it isn't the right thing for us [the band]". In an interview with BBC News, Reynolds revealed that "Moonhead" and new track "Marble Fields and the Hydrolight Head of Delusion" were "probably going to make it", and that they were working with "Simian Mobile Disco production" during April–May 2009. Reynolds added that "Valley of the Calm Trees" had been retitled "The Parhelion", to reflect its lyrical content. James Ford. of Simian Mobile Disco confirmed working with the band later in the year, stating in an interview with ''Newsbeat'' that they were "...trying to keep it melodic and vocal because that's one of their great strong points".

On May 22, 2009, the band announced a show at Coventry's Kasbah nightclub, their only scheduled headline UK performance. The concert, to take place on 3 June, sparked rumours that the band may feature at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival. The band supported Blur at their comeback show at the Manchester Evening News Arena on 26 June, before playing a surprise set at Glastonbury the following day. The set included further new songs "Hoodoo Bora", "Future Memory" and "Echoes". In addition to Glastonbury, the band featured at numerous other festivals including Bestival, Ibiza Rocks, and headlined the Croatian Hartera festival.

It was announced during November 2009 that the band were now working with producer Ross Robinson, with Robinson confirming through his Twitter account. The band stated that work with Ford had gone astray, reaching difficulties with Ford acting as both producer and drummer. Klaxons broke from recording at the end of the year to perform at Get Loaded In the Dark at Brixton Academy on 31 December 2009, featuring alongside Chase & Status and Annie Mac. Recording was completed to the satisfaction of both band and label in February 2010. The following month, it was confirmed that the band would be playing Open'er Festival in Poland as well as the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK. They headlined the BBC Radio 1/''NME'' Stage. Taylor-Davies suggested Reading and Leeds would be a UK-exclusive, saying, "I think in England it's just going to be Reading and Leeds, in terms of festivals, this summer".

On May 25, 2010, Zane Lowe premiered the track "Flashover" on his BBC Radio 1 show, the band's first new material in three years. Even though the track was not released as a single it was available on the band's new album, titled ''Surfing the Void''. In support of the new album, the band announced an eight date tour of the UK and France, which took place during May–July 2010. For live performances, they were joined by Anthony Rossomando as a touring member.

Their second album ''Surfing the Void'' was released on 23 August 2010, and includes the single "Echoes", which was released one week prior.

On December 25, 2010, the band released on their website a free EP of material that was worked on for the album in 2007-2008, entitled ''Landmarks of Lunacy''.

Musical style

HMV describes Klaxons as "acid-rave sci-fi punk-funk", a phrase lifted directly from Tim Chester's Radar feature in ''NME'' magazine, while their MySpace page touts 'Psychedelic / Progressive / Pop'. However, they are one of the isolated acts being referred to as New Rave. Though the band's sound is rock-based, they draw upon some less common influences - notably the rave culture of the 1990s, represented in their covers of rave hits "The Bouncer" by Kicks Like a Mule and "Not Over Yet" by Grace. Both tracks have since been released by the band, the first as part of a double a-side with "Gravity's Rainbow" in March 2006 and the latter as a single on 25 June 2007 titled "It's Not Over Yet".

Despite Jamie Reynolds explaining New Rave as something that "started as an in-joke and became a minor youth subculture", the genre has been generally derided by critics, leading the band to claim they're not representative of the scene, contradicting their stance earlier in their career.

Inspiration

The Klaxons take inspiration from several sources to name their songs and compose the lyrics.

The title of the album, Myths of the Near Future, is the title of a J. G. Ballard collection of short stories from 1982. Ballard was, or course, a science-fiction writer primarily and it's clear that his work, among others, has influenced the band.

Klaxons' love to cite fiction is obvious in a number of songs on their album; not least track Atlantis to Interzone. Atlantis is the mythical sunken city first spoken of by philosopher Plato, and Interzone is a term used by beat author William S. Burroughs. Also, Interzone is the title of a sci-fi magazine, which fits with the band's ethos of not being grounded in reality. Reference is also made to the Thomas Pynchon novel Gravity's Rainbow in the lyrics, which in turn is also used as the title of a song further into the album. Both Ballard and Pynchon were post-WWII writers and purveyors of "post modern" writing, as detailed by David Bennet in his article Parody, Postmodernism, and the Politics of Reading. Ballard has also been referenced, most notably, by Joy Division in their songs Atrocity Exhibition and Closer.

Further still, song Isle of Her is based on a short story by French Absurdist writer Alfred Jarry called Concerning the Cyclops and the Isle of Her, which seems, in turn, to be influenced by the Odyssey. The entire song Forgotten Works is based on surreal Eden novel In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. Lyrics from the song are taken directly from the book itself, even making reference to iDEATH. Single Magick is based on the book on Wiccan practices, Magick Without Tears, by famous occultist Aleister Crowley.

As Above, So Below takes its name and content from a commonly uttered Crowley phrase that is based in Hermeticism. First stated in the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, this occult phrase is used to detail the relationship between the microcosm and the macrocosm and has been also mention by bands as varied as Tool and the Tom Tom Club.

Other mythological allusions are included in the Klaxons most successful song to date, Golden Skans. In North American Indian mythology the supreme creator god is known as Skan - also a Lakota term meaning the motion of the universe. Additionally, the Hall of Records is mentioned which is considered by some to be a lost collection of writings (apparently bearing the answers to the universe) hidden underneath the Sphinx in Egypt. Some further believe that the uncovering and opening of this place will occur alongside the second coming of Christ.

The bible is subject to Klaxons' creative pilfering too in closing song Four Horsemen of 2012. From the Book of Revelation the Four Horsemen are the signifiers of the coming Apocalypse, representing war, famine, strife, and death. The year 2012 is a further indication of the end of the world as it is a new age belief that the Mayan calendar predicted 21 December 2012 as the date of a cataclysm for this world - this date is, however, considered to be a mis-understanding by Mayan scholars.

Julian Miles "Jools" Holland OBE, DL (born 24 January 1958) is an English pianist, bandleader, singer, composer, and television presenter. He was a founder of the band Squeeze (1974-1980 & 1985-1990) and his work has involved him with many artists including Sting, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, The Who, David Gilmour, Magazine and Bono.

Holland is a published author and appears on television shows besides his own and contributes to radio shows. In 2004, he collaborated with Tom Jones on an album of traditional R&B; music. He currently hosts ''Later... with Jools Holland'', a music-based show aired on BBC2, on which his annual show the Hootenanny, is based.

Life and career

His great grandfather came from Ireland.

Holland played as a session musician before finding fame, and his first studio session was with Wayne County & the Electric Chairs in 1976 on their track "F*ck Off."

Holland was a founding member of the British pop band Squeeze, formed in March 1974, in which he played keyboards until 1981 and helped the band to achieve millions of record sales, before pursuing his solo career.

Holland began issuing solo records in 1978, his first EP being ''Boogie Woogie '78''. He continued his solo career through the early 1980s, releasing an album and several singles between 1981 and 1984. He branched out into TV, co-presenting the Newcastle-based TV music show ''The Tube'' with Paula Yates. Holland achieved notoriety by inadvertently using the phrase "groovy fuckers" in a live, early evening TV trailer for the show, causing it to be suspended for six weeks. He referred to this in his sitcom "The Groovy Fellers" with Rowland Rivron.

thumb|right|Holland at the Tsunami Relief concert in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, 22 January 2005In 1983 Holland played an extended piano solo on The The's re-recording of "Uncertain Smile" for the album ''Soul Mining''. In 1985, Squeeze (which had continued in Holland's absence through to 1982) unexpectedly regrouped including Jools Holland as their keyboard player. Holland remained in the band until 1990, at which point, he again departed Squeeze on amicable terms to resume his solo career as a musician and a TV host.

In 1987, Holland formed The ''Jools Holland Big Band'' which consisted of himself and Gilson Lavis from Squeeze. This gradually became his 18-piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

Between 1988 and 1990 he performed and co-hosted along with David Sanborn during the two seasons of the music performance program Sunday Night on NBC late-night television. Since 1992 he has presented the eclectic music program ''Later... with Jools Holland'', plus an annual New Year's Eve "Hootenanny".

In 1996 Holland signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records and his records are now marketed through Rhino Records.

Holland has a touring band, The Rhythm And Blues Orchestra, which often includes singers Sam Brown and Ruby Turner. In January 2005 Holland and his band performed with Eric Clapton as the headline act of the Tsunami Relief Cardiff. He also headlined the Skegness SO Festival in July 2010.

Personal

Holland lives in the Westcombe Park area of Blackheath in southeast London, where he had his studio, Helicon Mountain, built to his design, heavily inspired by Portmeirion, the setting for the 1960s TV series ''The Prisoner''. Holland owns costumes and props from the series and occasionally appears wearing the trademark brown-with-white-pipe blazer featured in the series. In 1987, Holland demonstrated his love of the series and starred in a spoof documentary, ''The Laughing Prisoner'', with Stephen Fry, Terence Alexander and Hugh Laurie. Much of it was shot on location in Portmeirion, with archive footage of Patrick McGoohan, and featuring musical numbers from Siouxsie and the Banshees, Magnum and XTC. Holland performed a number towards the end of the program. Holland is also a Millwall FC fan. His younger brother Christopher also plays organ in the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra as well as being a successful singer/songwriter in his own right.

Holland was an interviewer for The Beatles Anthology TV project, and appeared in the 1997 film ''Spiceworld'' as a musical director.

He received an OBE in 2003 in the Queen's Birthday Honours list, for services to the British music industry as a television presenter and musician. In September 2006 Holland was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant for Kent. He is also known for his charity work: in June 2006 he performed in Southend for HIV/AIDS charity Mildmay, and in early 2007 he performed at Wells and Rochester Cathedrals to raise money for maintaining cathedral buildings. He is also patron of the Drake Music Project and has raised many thousands of pounds for the charity.

Jools Holland was appointed an Honorary Fellow of Canterbury Christ Church University at a ceremony held at Canterbury Cathedral on 30 January 2009.

On 29 August 2005 Holland married Christabel McEwen, his girlfriend of 15 years (between 1983 and 1995 she had been married to Edward Lambton, 7th Earl of Durham, but they divorced). The wedding, at St James's Church, Cooling near Rochester, was attended by many celebrities, including Ringo Starr, Robbie Coltrane, Stephen Fry, Lenny Henry, Noel Gallagher, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

Holland is also a patron for The Milton Rooms, a new Arts centre in Malton, North Yorkshire, along with Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton and Kathy Burke.

Writing

His 2007 biography, ''Barefaced Lies and Boogie Woogie Boasts'' was BBC Radio 4 "Book of the Week" in the week beginning 8 October 2007 and was read by Holland. He is the author or joint author of four other books.
