Klaxons' next single, 'MagicK', has been given a release date of October 30.

The song comes with a remix by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford and a brand-new track, 'Hall Of Records'.

The band are currently on tour, y'know, on the Club NME Tour. Appearing with them are Shitdisco, Datarock and Simian Mobile Disco; remaining dates as follows...

October
10 Birmingham Custard Factory
11 Northampton Soundhaus
13 London Koko
14 Brighton Concorde
16 Oxford Zodiac
17 Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms

Are Klaxons good? DiS editor and part-time cat-mangler Colin Roberts certainly thinks so.

i really dont think they are, i vaguely like it when theyre proper noisy but they rarely are and the jangly trad indie bits are cack. i was really disappointed by them, maybe theyre better live. i dunno

Klaxons.

awesome live.
awesome on record.
toss during 'Magick'
back to being rpetty awesome again on 'Hall Of Records'

the remix of 'Magick' sounds more like a song than the original. And a completely different song that isn't toss.

that is my two cents. my third cent would be that Shitdisco are aptly titled.

I'm tremendously excited about Friday.

Not seen them before in such a big venue. Will be interesting. Although I think I'm slightly more excited about seeing Datarock.

Klaxons

i was at their first ever gig last november-it was amazing.

this new single is not a favourite of mine but i think the band wanted to release something that was brand new-they have been playing the same six songs for a whole year.

Klaxons are going to be massive. they already are- but i mean in a having number 1 singles and hanging out with Bono kind of way. I think all the other so called new-rave bands are gonna fade away though. they are gonna be like all the post libs-post monkeys bands you see at the moment.
