Klaxons @ The Tivoli, Fortitude Valley (27/10/07)

Klaxons

It was strange lining up at The Tivoli at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Even stranger was being in a line with a bunch of under 18 year olds as I was going to the all ages concert. It was so incredibly hot waiting in that line especially since doors didn’t open on time. The atmosphere was crazy, the under 18’s go off, I don’t think I have seen a mosh-pit so big at The Tivoli before. The crowd was loud but the Klaxons were even louder. The Klaxons pumped out a very enthusiastic set of their psychedelic rock. I was sceptical about going to an all ages gig, but the crowd really made this concert. I don’t think I would like to go to too many all-ages gigs, but they are definitely not as bad or annoying as I had imagined. Gravity’s Rainbow along with Golden Skans and Atlantis to Interzone were all major highlights. Probably most of all Atlantis to Interzone as this is where the Klaxons really take that psychedelic edge up a notch, such a high energy song and the crowd just soaks it all up. On a technical side the light show was pretty good, but the sound was good for the most part albeit too loud. It was so strange when I left The Tivoli afterwards. It was only 5pm so it was still hot outside and the sun still shining.
