TOKYO POLICE CLUB IN CONCERT:
Upbeat Canadian indie quartet Tokyo Police Club has been getting wallflowers dancing with their post-punk-inspired sound and high-spirited live performances for the past decade. The group’s concerts are a nonstop barrage of catchy melodies, and sing-along-worthy choruses, and their outsize charm and infectious energy fill the room every time they take the stage. Earworms like “Hot Tonight” and “Your English Is Good” always elicit massive cheers from the crowd, and the band responds in kind with unbridled enthusiasm as they tear through their set. Whether they’re performing songs from their 2008 debut album Elephant Shell or 2014’s Forcefield, Tokyo Police Club always rock the stage with their impressive musicianship, lively stage presence, and extensive catalog of powerful indie rock jams.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Tokyo Police Club was formed in Toronto in 2005 from the ashes of the band Suburbia. They began playing small shows in the area, and before long word-of-mouth buzz had earned them an opening slot at the Pop Montreal Festival. A stellar performance there led to a deal with Paper Bag Records, and in 2006 the band made their debut on the label with the EP A Lesson in Crime. They followed up in 2007 with the Smith EP, and in 2008 they released their full-length debut album Elephant Shell. The record was a Top 10 hit in Canada, and also charted in the US which led to an extensive North American tour. Their 2010 sophomore album Champ was also well received, earning them three Top 20 singles on the Canadian Alternative Chart and a high-profile performance on the Late Show with David Letterman. In 2014 the band released their third album Forcefield to another round of critical and commercial success, and they continue to impress with their adrenaline-filled sets on tour.

TPC are the absolute wizards of Toronto. Spanning almost 20 years, TPC has been the core of the Toronto music scene, even being from Newmarket. Being on radios and TV and everywhere media is consumed, made it difficult to escape, even though you never wanted to. They were the band that you knew all of their songs without actually knowing them. Until you did. And then they really never left your mind. A massive shoutout to Tokyo Police Club for 19 years of service within the Toronto music scene. Heres to bigger and better ventures!
Great venue as always, and Tokyo Police Club will be sorely missed – a great band making great music for 19 years. Thanks for the music and the memories, boys!
I have seen many Tokyo Police Club shows over the years. What an amazing band and I am just so fortunate that I got to be there for their last show. They set out to leave it all on stage and they accomplished that! What a hell of a show! They played for 2 hours with the crowd right there with them, along with the amazing ride/journey! Thank you TPC for 20 amazing years!
Tokyo Police Club is amazing. I’ve listened to them for years. They have such a good message and sound. I couldn’t believe how many songs I knew and lyrics I was able to remember. They are so fantastic live especially at such a spectacularly, thoughtfully crafted venue like History. It was a beautiful show. The acoustics in that space are amazing. The stage set up and especially light performance and timing were just absolutely flawless. TPC played ‘favourite colour’ to a rainbow array of lights. I love that the doors are so close to the floor so the cold air could keep things fresh. Easy to get in, easy to get out. The only thing I didn’t realize is that there are all these waist high railings and bars everywhere painted black so I ran into quite a few of those. Other than that 10/10
Amazing show and venue! We had a great time and look forward to our next show at History. The band played great and we are really going to miss them!
Intimate venue. We had box seats which I recommend. Easy to get to from parking. Awesome final show by a great Canadian band.
Awesome band! Awesome show! Sad the run is over :(
So glad I went to this. TPC played incredible and the lights were super well done. Merch was affordable and super cool. Venue was perfect. Couldn’t as for a better farewell experience.
Amazing show, they were so good, my only complaint is that they are splitting up.
