Klaxons and Young Knives have it covered

Both bands offer up surprises at intimate London show

Klaxons and The Young Knives both played cover versions as they continued the BBC Electric Proms festival with an intimate gig at London‘s Barfly last night (October 25).

The Young Knives headlined, performing a boisterous set to an enthusiastic crowd. Talking from the stage, singer Henry Dartnall teased his brother, Thomas Dartnall aka The House of Lords, for looking like “a fat Timmy Mallett”. He added: “NME wanted him in the cool list – it’s only because he’s got a wacky name”.

Their set included a cover of Kim Wilde’s 1981 hit ‘Kids In America’, and an acoustic version of ‘Tailors’.
