Klaxons scoop best new band award

Congratulations to Klaxons who have won the best new band at the Shockwaves NME Awards. The young threesome were noticeably emotional at the honour as they collected the
award from top Radio 1 girls Jo Whiley and Edith Bowman.

One third of the new rave outfit, Jamie Righton excitedly said, "Jeez, well, thank you so much," said Jamie Righton. "We are indeed a new band! But I'd like to mention how good Tim Burgess looks. Thanks to The View too. Cheers."

They beat off stiff competition from The Fratellis, The Horrors, The View and The Kooks.
