I can vouch for The Presets live show. They had a massive crowd dancing at NOON at the Big Day Out in Sydney.

But they kind of sound like Dead or Alive. If you're into that.

OK, maybe I'm too much of a homebody, but what's a Fixed Party? And what's a Modular Party?

I think ohmyrockness is dead on, they remind me of LCD Soundsystem.

Modular party... a party organized by Modula Records, home of The Presets, Wolfmother and Cut Copy

Their album is decent, some really good stuff and some OK electro-clashy stuff.
