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.

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.
