DOWNLOAD: Cheer it On (MP3)
Before heading over to Pianos to watch Cold War Kids, I caught Toronto's Tokyo Police Club play their 1st NYC show at Mercury Lounge (May 1, 2006). Part Unicorns, part Thunderbirds are Now!, part Bloc Party, Tokyo Police Club put on a great (but short) show to the appreciative few who showed up.
Props to the band for continuing to play with only three bass strings when one broke. Props to the girl in the audience who helped them tie their falling banner up after the first song.
After the show everyone yelled for 'one more song', but the sound guy turned up the Arctic Monkeys CD before the band had a chance to decide if they'd do it.

While the city was sleeping/fixated on pearl jam at irving/fixated on red hot chili peppers at irving/etc...A little band named Radiohead placed their presale tix on sale - 6:30am to be exact - sold out by 7.

melanie must've been the girl from the audience who helped rehang the banner. good for you! were you also a judge? did you give the band a perfect "10"?
much props to you and your clever assumptions.
yours truly,

Tokyo Police Club isn't the "next flavour of the month". They're bloody brilliant.
