When Björk came to New York’s Madison Square Garden this week, she brought along British Mercury Prize-winning band Klaxons as an opening act. Rock Daily spent some quality time backstage with the eccentric psychedelic dance-rockers as they tried on a variety of costumes, enjoyed the benefits of a hand-held massager and occasionally passed out mid-sentence. Click above to check out the band describing how serious they are about their music while decked out like tripped-out Village People. And for even more Klaxons footage, you can watch the band chat about their forthcoming sophomore album and eavesdrop on their great debate over the merits of the Clash (and hear what advice Mick Jones gave them). And for photos of the band prepping in their dressing room, click here.
