Klaxons @ Bowery Ballroom
Oh, to be young again. Or rather, oh, to be young and never have experienced the first wave of rave. Not that rave was a bad thing. Way back in the '90s, it was exciting to cram into a warehouse with thousands of strangers, flip candy and spread the PLUR. Nu Rave (or whatever it's called) isn't exactly like that, and even though Klaxons say they want nothing to do with the "nu" genre, it didn't stop a bunch of 16 and 17-year olds from getting to the Bowery before doors and then parking in front of the stage, waving glowsticks around without the slightest air of irony.

AXIS|OF|LIVE Does CMJ 2007
Now, I know what you're all thinking. CMJ was eons ago, it's old news! Well, I apologize for being so tardy with my review of the shows I saw. The thing is, my camera broke right in the middle of the festivities and I was hoping to eventually get it fixed so I could write my review alongside all of the tasty photographs I took. No such luck, though; after two trips to the service center, the camera still doesn't work, so here I am, writing my review without the visual evidence. I hope you all don't mind. To soothe you savage beasts, I've got three days worth of fun after the jump: M.I.A. at Terminal 5, the BrooklynVegan Friday day show at R Bar, Sahara Hotnights, The Maccabees and Sons and Daughters at Bowery Ballroom, Foals at Pianos and Spoon at Roseland Ballroom! Phew, I'm tired just thinking about it.
