Klaxons guitarist/vocalist Simon Taylor, whose band just played a sold out show at the Bowery Ballroom last night and have several more U.S. dates lined up for the coming weeks, chatted with Radar Online on how his band plans to keep our attention "before moving on to the next big thing." Some excerpts include:

How they get the audience to dance: "I don't think there's anything you can specifically do—whatever you tell an audience, they will just do the opposite. If someone tells me to dance, that's the last thing I feel comfortable doing."

Thoughts on being the leader of "New Rave": "We kind of toured the world and people wanted to start this non-existent genre, and we told them we're not a part of it and we don't give a fuck about it. We just toured Europe for a month and we were like in this bubble. We didn't really live anywhere, musically, and it's enough to make us all go mad, but it's something that we found quite exciting, too."

On Britney Spears: "I'm more excited about Britney than anything. We did a TV show with Bloc Party yesterday, and I'm not sure how much of the truth [singer, guitarist] Kele was telling us, but he was saying that he heard one of the new Britney Spears tracks, and it was life-changing. So that's more exciting to me."
