Poor NME. Just months after the rag coined a new genre for their present poster boys, said band is set to switch up its game. Klaxons are looking to branch out into the sweet rhythm & blues, and so naturally they’re turning to … Snoop and Dre? Via MTV UK:
“We would very much like to make an R&B record. If we could afford it.”Bassist Jamie Reynolds added “The most interesting thing for us would be to work with Dr.Dre or Snoop Dogg. We haven?t done a record deal in America but we got to a point a couple of weeks ago where we were talking about one – and I don?t know whether or not it’s gonna happen.
“But if we did do that deal we would probably jeopardise our future working with Dr.Dre.”
Silly Klaxons. If you wanna make R&B records, not working with Dre is a good thing! And pray tell, what in the name of ecstasy are we supposed to do with all of the Day-Glo we just bought for the North American tour?

Do you have any idea what the fuck you’re talking about?
yay! my band wants to make a metal record. thinking about enlisting jermaine dupri.
The Klaxons sound like every other band since 2002 – good, danceable indie rock – working with Dr. Dre or anyone in hip-hop could be something interesting.
Now, do people really -believe- that “nu-rave” hype? Totally CaNdy FlIpPing to jagged indie rock sounds like the worst experience on this or ottttttthhhhher worlds. Sheep, maaan!! u aalll mindless sheepeeeerjfg
did anyone else see them when they opened up for soulwax at studio b last fall? it was the most god-awful display i’ve seen in ages. i actually sort of liked them until i saw them live… totally killed it for me. and from the looks of the crowd, i wasn’t alone in that.
I think that the Klaxons and Dre would make a great pair. They BOTH hate melody!
if Dre works with the Klaxons but not The Game HEADS WILL ROLL.
and yeah, why the fuck does hip hop still hate melody so much??
