Klaxons news: secret Southampton gig

klaxons great escape 2006

Disco kids Klaxons will be warming up for their appearance at Bestival next weekend with a ‘secret’ gig in Southampton.

They’ll be playing the Long Live Rock and Roll club night at Lennon’s next Thursday, September 7th.

This is quite possibly the last chance you’ll all have to see them in all their glory at a tiny weeny stinky beer-stained venue before they go off on tour with the big boys’n’gals on the next NME tour.

Doors open at 9pm and tickets cost £4 in advance (available from www.longliverockandroll.com) and £5 on the door.




  • it's true though

    it's gonna be lame when they hit the bigger venues so all the scene kids can come to klaxons gigs and dance like their mummys not expecting them home till 12 and can knock your fecknig drink outta ya hand after you've queued behind a 60yr old who's spent the last half hour trying to order a drink thta isn't carling.....
    mmmmmm i tell you...if i had been a nastier person that tall ginger lanky git would have got a PROPER smack,,,

    ok

    but klaxons = good as guts live and i'm not sure the rave will be too fucked if more than 50 ppl wil fit in the venue...just keep the kids out!

  • about as secret as doherty's crack habit

    • he has WHAT NOW?

      • Very secret

        To the 20,000 people on their myspace friends. They've just made a bunch of their NME dates all ages as well. Thankfully Koko is still 18+.

        • yuh huh

          koko be stil 18+ so should be rite good..

          and i rather like pete's puppy....though i fear it may have a drug problem

        • secret in the way that...

          their 'rave' in Hoxton Sq. was secret, it would appear.

          • But that wasn't announced on Klaxons myspace

            It was all sorted out through Young Turks I beleive. And you had to ring a number on the day. A lot more effort than being chucked at 20k people on myspace, DiS, NME, Gigwise etc. Plus it isn't even a secret gig...

      • "he has WHAT NOW?"

        a nice little puppy called Fluffles.

        • whooop!

          i live in southampton :D

          • The most un secret gig in the world

            good job i got my tickets. Out of interest dose any 1 know how much lennons holds, im gussing about 200 but there will 3 quaters of the crowed fighting for a view of the satge, hmmmm shud be interesting

  • lennons

    saw mystery jets there a while back, its tiny, a bit of a dive and its fucking hard to get a good view. so it'll be a good gig!

    i think its about 100, or around that mark

    • lennons capacity

      it holds 200 for a club night, but like the two chaps above have noted not all those can see stage for a live band, so just 150 for this show.
      all tickets are online at www.longliverockandroll.com

      • i love lennons music and cheap drinks

        but i fucking hate the cliqey atmosphere. It's full of scenester twats who think they're the best thing since sliced bread :( Yuck

        • *cliquey

          that might still be wrong :-S

          • I hope

            Im not seen as scenster twat there. I just go for the cheqap booz and dance likea fool for the music.

            • people who dance like a fool

              dont fll into the scenester twat catagorie, the ones im talking about are too far up their own arses to dance.

              • hmmm

                who? *confused*

                sure all the lennons regulars i know who might possibly be referred to (in a very prejudiced and stereotypical manner) as 'scenesters' all dance an awful lot, mostly in quite a ridiculous manner.

                i think lennons has a great atmosphere - sure a lot of people know each other but that's just cos they love it and as such go back every week. i don't think it's any attempt at snobbery or anything. maybe you should try talking to the people you call scenesters - you might actually find they're very nice people.

                • who cares any way

                  klaxons are playing and i will defy any one not to dance like a loony on thursday

                • I have.

                  I was there on my 18th birthday and I was sat with a table full of people (cos i knew one of them) me and my friends were just generally having a fun time, everyone else at the table was sat here posing, I tried to strike up conversation with a few of them, and all I got was looked down the nose at. I did meet one guy who was a dude and he had an awesome leather jacket! But yeah, everytime I've been there most of the people were jerks and the girls love giving me evils for some reason :(

                  • 9 tickets left for klaxons
