Tokyo Police Club August 20, 2010

The band consists of singer/bassist Dave Monks, keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook, and drummer Greg Alsop. The Newmarket, Ontario natives came together to form TPC in 2005 after disbanding from a previous group called "Suburbia." Not soon after playing Toronto’s "Pop Montreal Festival," the band was offered a recording contract by Toronto-based label Paper Bag Records. Since then, the young band has racked up quite a respective resume; appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman three separate times; worked the festival circuit on shows such as Coachella, Lollapolooza, Rock Am Ring, the Read And Leeds festival; as well as played a nation-wide arena tour with Weezer and Angels & Airwaves. The band has kept their momentum by recently releasing their second full-length album Champ on June 8th, 2010. Be sure to catch them performing at Metro on Friday, August 20th along with Freelance Whales and Arkells.
