No matter what Klaxons do, the nu-rave tag follows them like a bad smell. Their Myths of the Near Futuredebut may have grabbed the 2007 Mercury Music Prize, but it was hard to see where the band would go after that collection of disjointed tunes.

It seems they’ve turned to their own record collections for inspiration. On Saturday night, as they tore – with a snarl – into a set of headbanging electro, you could detect in their sound psych-rock à la United States Of America and bugged-out art tech from Justice.

Old favourites got the roars, but the newer, untitled fare indicated that this is a band that's happy to abandon a bandwagon. JC
