With the January release of Myths of the Near Future, The Klaxons have caught the eye of listeners and press alike, winning Yahoo! Music’s “Who’s Next” competition and the Mercury Prize. In a shocking upset The Klaxons won the Mercury Prize beating out heavy favorites Amy Winehouse and the Arctic Monkeys! Established in 1992 the prestigious award honors the best British or Irish album over the past year with past recipients including Franz Ferdinand and Primal Scream.
Fellow musicians, Muse, have shown The Klaxons the highest form of flattery by covering the single “Gravity’s Rainbow.”
Don’t count on The Klaxons to stop there; the band has their sights set on a multi-continent tour winning over new fans along the way with their over-the-top live show.
The band will make up a string of dates after canceling due to a broken leg of front man Jamie Reynolds – a leg he broke misjudging a 12 foot stage dive at a French venue.
