It was hot, humid, and Sunday night at Emo’s, but the crowd didn’t care about the heat or humidity because one of Canada’s most recent exports in the way of young lads laying down quick indie rock songs about robots and spaceships with some love tales intertwined, were sweating it out on stage in great form for the enthusiastic attendees. Tokyo Police Club played a well attended show @ Emo’s that had the band dripping sweat from the moment that they hit the stage until they departed a quick 45 minutes later, and these guys can cover a lot of ground in 45 minutes effectively.

Austin’s own buzz worthy White Denim opened the show along with Ra Ra Riot who have recently been in the news with the sudden loss of drummer John Pike, yet forge ahead dispite the loss much to everyone’s approval. Tokyo Police Club have a full date book of shows scheduled well through October with several Festival dates and a couple of sold out shows in NY and NJ. Fresh off of inking a deal with Saddle Creek Records one can only think that the work from these fresh young lads from Canada is going to be coming at us a rate that rivals their live show, which you should investigate for yourself.
