TPC

Tokyo Police Club are in Vancouver tonight for a show at The Imperial.  They perform tomorrow in Victoria atRifflandia.

Before their show today, they stopped by CFOX and I asked David to tell me about Eugene, Oregon.

Toronto’s Young Empires performed last night in Vancouver at Fortune Sound Club. Today they stopped by CFOX on their way to the ferry to take part in the Rifflandia Festival in Victoria. I asked Matt about their song “Uncover Your Eyes.”

On the way out…they bumped into Tokyo Police Club…also in CFOX before their show tonight at The Imperial and then off to Rifflandia.

Tokyo Police Club lead singer has a solo ep out next week // @davidmonks @TokyoPoliceClub @dinealonemusic

Beachhouse

Heatwave blasting British Columbia right now. It is sunny and hot in Vancouver and on the Island. Another glorious weekend back in Victoria. No DJ gigs meant maximum time out there getting after it with Coral and the kids. Sunday we hit a late brunch on the patio at the Beach House in Cordova Bay. I was able to work on that farmer’s tan. Good times.

We also managed to hit a little parade in Oak Bay, a fair, a foodtruck festival (which was actually a little disappointing when our favourite foodtruck was the one that was closed) and some scenic drives before Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones on Sunday. Just a textbook weekend.

Monday, an email from David Monks’ people. The Tokyo Police Club lead singer has a solo record out on June 16th called All Signs Point to Yes (Dine Alone).

Listening to “The Rules,” I can hear the style of TPC’s Forcefield. Dave says the songs are very honest, maybe too honest?

“It could be too honest for some people but I’m in a really good spot and wrote a bunch of sweet songs. I appreciate the connection that comes from sharing something that somebody might not have seen, that’s not visible to the naked eye. People do relate to it, and I find that super rewarding; that drives me in a lot of ways. I’m trying to understand what people really want to get out of music.”

Monks is on a little tour, check it if you live in one of these fine cities.

06/15 Washington, DC @ Black Cat Backstage
06/16 New York, NY @ Mercury Lounge
06/25 Toronto, ON @ The Garrison
06/26 Hamilton, ON @ Casbah Lounge
06/27 Ottwawa, ON @ House of TARG
07/08 Cambridge, MA @ TT The Bear’s Place
07/09 Philadelphia, PA @ Milkboy

Tokyo Police Club is in Vancouver, September 18th at The Imperial.

NEW Tokyo Police Club (and a cover)… I wanna be there

Posted in music, tagged , on December 11, 2013| Leave a Comment »

tpc
Tokyo Police Club will bring us their third album in early 2014.  The first radio single is promised for January.  But to wet the whistle, the band gives us the humungous album cut “Argentina (part I, II, III).”  a 9-ish minute TPC song?  Strap in and feel the Gs!

So much to like about this song.  There are a few lines that popped out at me.

“Girl I wish we had a conversation,
Face to face.
Because when you speak,
you speak in waves.”

“Oh what a girl I want you wearing my T-shirt,
XL
Yeah!
You wear it well.”

I am so excited for new TPC that I feel like Smiley Miley.  Here we go Cover song FREAK THE FUCK OUT!

Go with yourself.

Its good to be back

Posted in music, tagged , on April 26, 2010| 6 Comments »

Back from a whirlwind trip to Vancouver to see my buddy Bob and bring Maddy to see Grandma and Grandpa.

Watched some hockey(go Nucks!), ate a mondo Tuna taco on Lonsdale and rolled into the Zone to a few interesting developments.

one.  New music from Tokyo Police Club.  They have a new single on the radio called “Wait Up (Boots of Danger).” and I found a song on their website from the upcoming record Champ (June 8th) that is a free download if you give your email address to them.

Stream: “Wait Up (Boots of Danger”
Download: “Breakneck Speed“

two. Maybe because it is a Monday… this video hit the spot.  Warning, the new M.I.A. music video for “Born Free” is SAVAGE with extreme violence.

That said, a great film.

Watch: M.I.A. – “Born Free”

It has a style that reminds me of the film “Children of Men.”  It is telling the story of maybe a near future fascist America that has decided they won’t tolerate anymore of a certain type of person… and how they deal with their “problem” group of humans is well… we’ve seen it in histry before, and we’ll see it again.  Like I said, the video is not for the faint of heart.  Very graphic.

Interview with Tokyo Police Club is coming up and I’ll have a new mix on Mixcloud tonight or tomorrow.
