Why You Should Go: With one EP and scarcely 16 minutes of music released in their brief 18-month lifespan, Tokyo Police club have become a sensation of sorts. They have played Coachella, traveled across the Pacific to play a gig in their namesake city in Japan, and more recently the band took the stage at the legendary Glastonbury Festival in England.
Their sound is reminiscient of their Canadian brethren Wolf Parade they weave Flaming Lips like moments and lyrics into their music effortlessly. All quite an set of accomplishments for a group of guys in their early 20’s.
In addition to playing at several major festivals Tokyo Police Club recently toured with The Cold War Kids and drew rave reviews for their energetic (though brief) live performances. In a standout moment on that tour one evening when TPC drummer Greg Alsop fell sick, all eight members of The Cold War Kids and tour mates Delta Spirit joined the remaining members of the band on stage for an acoustic jam session that wowed the crowd. Clips of the mayhem are available on YouTube but the sound quality is just too poor to include here.
Before they return to the studio to record their first proper full length later this year Tokyo Police Club is touring small clubs extensively. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch the raw energy of this band before they polish it up and end up on the theatre circuit.
