Tokyo Police Club
TPC is actually a young Toronto quartet with a lot of energy and almost no police training. They made a small splash last spring with their first New York appearance at the Mercury Lounge. Since then, they've been tapped by SXSW as a band with potential.
Hear for yourself: "Nature of the Experiment"
They play at the Plug Awards at Irving Plaza, Feb 10. Unfortunately for those not so quick on the draw, the show is sold out, but they will be releasing 50 tickets at the door, starting at 7pm. If you don't feel like chancing it, the band will be back for a gig with Cold War Kids, April 6 & 7.
