the rave thing is mostly a red-herring, this much has been established. they are easily more psych/prog if you listen to the album. what they are bordering on is the whole guitar dance scene (Van She, James Ford, Justice etc) that's feeding the klaxons-as-rave misreading. it's their own fault of course with the joke genre name.
what you were saying about enjoying performing, and your own Elastica-inspired drive to play the geetar, probably has more to say on the klaxons - they WANT to play these instruments, they WANT a live drummer. they also like dance music, and this is in accord with your "if all the Klaxons set out to do was guitar-led homages to the 'spirit' of rave, they've probably succeeded"
