On a small tour promoting their long awaited sophomore album, Klaxons signed-on to LA's Culture Collide Festival. For 10 bucks, I got to see quite a few amazing bands in addition to living the LA life (i.e. rooftop pools, west hollywood strip). I'm hoping this fest will pick up momentum. The acts were great, the venues were awesome, the turn out somewhat dead. Although this allowed Sophie to literally rub elbows with Jamie O Reynolds and say hello to James Righton.
Like the rockstars we are, we went to Klaxons' gig at Troubadour- which was my first time there. Awesome venue, awesome acoustics. On the dot, right after the last encore song, our getaway car was there to chauffer us back to Echoplex for White Lies.Interspersing new material from their upcoming album was Harry "Hottie" McVeigh. They've come a long way and I am looking forward to the new stuff.
