Last Saturday saw Modular‘s Nevereverland tour kick off in Sydney at the Hordern Pavilion.

The show was a bit of a showcase for Modular acts like The Presets, Klaxons, Cut Copy, Ladyhawke, Bumblebeez and Van She. Invited international guests were geek Berliners The Whitest Boy Alive and disco queens Hercules and the Love Affair.

The day was a bit of a test for me photographically because i wasn’t using my typical Canon 5D set up. The night before the gig, the mirror fell off the shutter of the 5D and it was unusable. Cybele saved the day by lending me her Nikon D3. It’s the bees knees of low light photography, but i felt like a complete n00b with it’s back to front dials and unfamiliar set up. I managed though, and made good use of it’s high ISO capabilities.

Is it my imagination or did the whole ‘New Rave’ movement start in Sydney?

New Young Pony Club

Bang Gang, Modular Records, The Presets and Tsubi (now Ksubi) are all Sydney institutions that were doing ‘New Rave’ well before NME hopped on the wagon and made the term popular. But New Rave is really just another name for post-punk or electro-rock with glowsticks. Music genres are tired. Might as well coin a new one.

For more navel gazing on the topic see The Guardian, The Valentinos, The Times and The Big Stereo.

The Ghosts
Klaxons at the Forum

Whatever the case, fashionable young Sydneysiders turned out in force on Friday night for the Modular/Ksubi Christmas party. It featured the current king and queen of New Rave: Klaxons and New Young Pony Club from the UK. Also on the bill was Van She plus young upstarts The Ghosts and not so young upstarts Vendettas.

I’m no writer, so i shan’t bother reviewing the gig. But i did take lots of photos. New Young Pony Club
