Klaxon, Klax off
Bummed you missed out on getting tickets to see UK dance-spazz rockers Klaxons at their sold out Schubas show on April 16th? Don't be. Turns out the Brit three piece will be giving a free in-store performance at Urban Outfitters on Milwaukee Ave. at 5 PM on Sunday, April 15th. We have Toyota's Yaris marketers to thank as well as America's trendiest clothing store for providing the repreive via the "Free YR Radio" campaign. Evidently, the companies have combined forces to help promote non-commercial radio in 12 major US markets by offering free in-store shows, vehicle giveaways, and CD samplers with lots of buzzworthy acts. And yep, Chicago made the cut and Klaxons got the call, so be prepared to check out overpriced ironic tees and tanks while grooving to the sounds of "Gravity's Rainbow" next Sunday evening.
UPDATE: It seems that Chicago's best independent radio station, the crushworthy WLUW, is sponsoring the wild call of the Klaxons at Urban Outfitters and that you've got to go through them to get tix for the gig. Contact WLUW here for more info.
